Wednesday, August 25, 2021 - Dinner at Fragrant Garden (Fragrant Garden Restaurant, Serangoon): An absolute pleasure. A bit tight when first popped, but this opened up really nicely through the night. The nose was quite alluring, with dark cherries and violets, a little bit of spice, and then a nice touch of earth and mineral running alongside. Very nice. The palate was lovely when it got going too, with a lovely blush of dark cherries and blueberries laced with a little bit of spice and florals. Really enjoyable, and surprisingly light and forward for a 2015 Pommard, with really fine tannins and plenty of juicy acidity giving the wine a nicely elegant, accessible frame. This is really delicious now. I am not sure how well it will age in the very long term, but it should continue to developed nicely at least through the next decade or so. A lovely drop.
