Thursday, November 5, 2020 - Montrachet and Amoureuses dinner (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): A lovely charmer. I did not have high hopes on this, but it was surprisingly good. The nose was worryingly funky at first, with a chicken-shot funkiness, but this blew off a little with time to reveal an attractive bouquet of dark cherries and berries, sour plums, earth and gentle Vosne spice, these crowned with a little diadem of floral notes. The palate was really alluring, with a cloak of juicy acidity and soft, velvet tannins wrapped around a savoury core of savoury, meaty notes, and then a layer of dark cherries and berries, these seasoned with gentle notes of spice and violet florals. Nice finish too, with a twist of spice, herb and flowers right at the end. The finish was just a tad short, but this was drinking beautifully well now - absolutely delicious and very charming.
