Thursday, August 21, 2008 - Impromptu Burgundy night (Duxton Hill, Singapore): Very nice, but absolutely new world. Nose was really sweet compared to the series of Burgs we had, but still seemed rather restrained and complex, a nod towards Burgundy if anything, with stewed, slightly herbal tea, mushroom and menthol notes. After some air, it started showing loads and loads of Cantonese preserved plum scents. The palate was sweeter by far, dense, sappy and full of dark, ripe plummy fruit It was surpsingly balanced and posied though, with good freshness from the attack to the nicely resolved finish, which was bright and sprightly inspite of the huge fruit weight. Very yummy, if just a little OTT.
