  April 7, 2012 - Nose of violets and cherry syrup. Soft, supple red fruits and dark berries. Cool, soft tannins and gentle on the palate. Simple and drinkable.

  April 7, 2012 - My Birthday Celebration (Kingyo, Marina Square): I thought this was pretty decent - one of those rather rustic, but still fun and enjoyable wines from a traditional region. If anything, I enjoyed this quite a bit more than many an Argentinian Malbec I have had in recent years. The nose was not dissimilar from its new world cousins, with rich aromas of ripe black fruits - plums and blackberries - a touch of truffley earth and some green menthol accents. The palate was where the difference came in. This was marked by rather firm tannins that girded its simple, but hearty flavours of black fruit, truffles and earth all the way into a decent finish where some mint and menthol notes peeked out. This was a wine of some character. It should improve over the next few years, but I can see it being very enjoyable with a nice bit of game meat and some black Cahors truffles even now.
