Lo Hei at Yan + late night at M&M's (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Almost exactly one year down the road, this bottle was still nice, but was clearly weaker. Very similar tones to the last time, with earth, mineral and Burg funk on the nose, all swimming around a nice bit of red fruit. The palate was soft and rounded, with velvety tannins and decent acidity lapping against a core of dried red fruit, with a bit of spice and earth leading into a decent finish. Rather tiring, but still a real charmer.

Lo Hei dinner at Peach Garden (Peach Garden, OCBC Building): A nice wine. This started with a bouquet of fragrant spice, sweet dark cherries and blackberries, loamy earth, a hint of violets. Nice. The palate had a nice freshness to it, with bright acidity and fine tannins laced through dark cherry and more blackberry notes. A bit lean, but pire and juicy, with a nice sense of sinewy definition and fine structure to it. The finish nice and long, full of juicy acidity swimming around tones of savoury earth and mineral, along with a nice blush of spice. Very good - this was a strong showing.

Pronounced nose intensity with earth, tea leaf, toast. Medium acidity and medium- tannin. Nose is good but palate is weak. Drink up will not improve

My 40th Birthday Weekend; 2/17/2017-2/20/2017: A bit foursquare but nothing wrong with it. Smells like aged burgundy.

*Same bottle as 2015-04-18 - Mascarello59.
Fully developed, and I would say even fairly overdeveloped. This bottle is the by far most mature of the ones that I have had the chance to try.
Prunes, cooked cabbage, slightly perfume spiciness, something green and black mummified apples.
Medium acidity, very dry and lacking life.
This has seen better days. But there has also been some terrific bottles.
