Wednesday, July 11, 2018 - All 9 Gevrey Grand Crus (Straits Clan, Singapore): Nice, but only emerging from its shell about now I think - this is one of those Ponsots that really needs to be caught in a proper window to be anything near rewarding. I would leave it aside for a few years yet. On the night, it certainly started very nicely, but shut down quite fast. The nose was a little reserved, showing in a nice, but subtle melange of green floral stalks, sweet red cherries and berries, and just that touch of earth along with a remnant of sweet oak. The palate had a sense of quiet power to it, with well-integrated flavours of dark cherries, berries, earth and spice riding on a bed of fine tannins and good acidity. It too seemed a little subtle and very tightly packed though, and maybe lacking a touch of charm now; certainly when compared to the far more ready 2002 Rene Leclerc Griotte. This was a pretty good wine - try again in 6-8 years.
