  A very pleasant wine that went well with our roast duck dinner. But agree with the other notes it is a bit nondescript and disappointing for the price. I can’t remember exactly what I paid but it was considerably more the the $25 listed on CT.
  But that said, drinking well now, red and dark fruits, some earthiness and hints of green. Very enjoyable.
  Decanted 30-40 min before dinner and consumed over 2 hours

  In and of itself this is a fairly decent mid-week quaffer. The problem is that is sells for £50 - at that price I am expecting something a few steps above what is on offer here. But this is Burgundy...where the meaning of dollars, pounds and euros lose pretty much any meaning. Lean with notes of dark fruits - very fine grained tannins, but the finish is short. Okay for £20, bad value at £50.

  Opened on a lark to see if warranted purchasing more. Dark ruby. Nose of raspberry infusion and earthy smells. Linear, mineral-laden flavors of pure cherry, raspberry, and strawberry fruit with a bit of sweetness on the moderately-long finish. Nice acidity. Relatively open for such a young wine.

  Giron 2nd Tasting (NK's Home): Sweet candied cherries. Lively cherry fruits. Simple generic with some hints of dried herbs.

  Tasting at NK Yong's (Swettenham Road, Singapore): Not quite sure what to make out of this wine, not bad, pretty well made, but not very NSG at all. The purple colour of the wine spoke of some amount of extract, which played out in the tasting. Sweet, candied cherries filled the nose on first sniff, with maraschino notes wafting around with just the slightest touch of dried earth beneath that. More sweet maraschino cherries on the palate, which clearly showed some hang-time and quite a bit of extract with velvety tannins showing some grip. Simple at the moment I thought. The wine had a good liveliness to it though, with fresh and nicely integrated acidity keeping the palate lifted into its respectable finish that showed a touch of dried fruit. Should do better with some time in the bottle - where is the terroir though?
