Tonight's gonna be a good good night; 7/17/2010-7/20/2010: Very typically bordeaux, feeling very much like a cantermerle with green capsicums, leather, lots of leafy cabbage. A touch green for the vintage with bitter tea and tannins at the end.

Cellar Raid at ES (Extra Space, Singapore): Second wine, weak vintage, but this was surprisingly drinkable. Lovely nose showed lush cassis, earth and tobacco with pats of damp earth, along with floating green capsicum scents. On the palate, not great density, as one would expect from a second wine from 1994, but lots of charm and elegance. Again, smoky tobacco, earth, capsicums, just a tad green at the egdes. Certainly not a California Cab drinker's wine. Otherwise, quite a pleasure. Finish was decent, with a whiff of cigar smoke and a squeeze of fine tannins.
