Community Tasting Note

  May 30, 2022 - Dinner at San Shu Gong (San Shu Gong, Geylang, Singapore): A decent wine, but rather disappointing for a 1er Cru. The nose was pleasant enough, and spoke quite nicely of the Morey terroir, with masculine notes of earth, meat and some peppery spice at the fore, and then beyond the savoury notes, some red cherries and berries, and something floral, almost like a touch of violets. The palate was rather less impressive. It had a nice clean feel and a decent balance, but lacked depth and intensity, coming across pleasant but nondescript, with light flavours of red cherries and berries flecked with some woody spice - think pepper and cloves - and maybe a bit of earthiness towards a rather short finish. I thought this was a wine that showed off the the weaker side of 2013 vintage. Clean, bright, and very drinkable, but lacking strength and complexity. It could have been in a bit of a dumb phase, but not one I would rebuy.
