Cellar Raid: Grenache and Sangiovese (Extra Space, Singapore): A barely drinkable wine, and not very good at all - quite a travesty of the Nebbiolo grape actually. Nose was sweet, rich and glycerol infused, with candied cherries and soem green herbaciousness. Palate was equally rich, and equally sweet, with gobs of candied cassis and bluberry notes wrapped in a really plush, low acid, no tannin package. Very ripe, very simple, all the way into the shortish finish where a bit more green herbs showed up.

Sweet floral nose with straight forward palate that is fleshy, low acid, low tannins with sweet finish. A bit artificial, IMHO. A Nebbiolo like this? Party wine. Buy - No.

Cellar Raid (ExtraSpace @ Boon Keng): Sweet and a bit artificial. A bit flabby. But I could see this pairing quite well with spicy asian food though.
