  Smoked Beef at the Chans (Cedar, Singapore): A pleasant enough drink. Nothing spectacular, but quite enjoyable with a smoked beef short-rib. This had an attractive nose of black cherries and darker berries seasoned with cracked pepper, wild garrigue and a little savoury backdrop of meat and earth. The palate was a little step behind the nose I thought, a touch simpler and not as together, with sweet, ripe notes of blueberries and plums laced with more warm, peppery spice. There was a little spike of acid and a some fine tannins that kept it structured and balanced, but also added a little ungainliness in the way it came together, especially in the finish. Nothing really complex or compelling, but this was pleasant enough and quite food friendly.

  Bombe de fruit. Finale ferme et tannique qui va s'assouplir avec le temps. Plaisir immédiat mais potentiel de garde indéniable.
