Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 26, 2008 - Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2005 vintage tasting and dinner (Conrad Interntational, Singapore): UGC dinner. Enjoyed this very much. Sweaty leather on the nose at first, but that blew off slightly to show spice, anise, peppercorn and blackcurrant, all integrated nicely with the slight animale / barnyard tones that made the wine go so well with the grilled lamb course. Very concentrated on the palate, wet earth, with wafts of pepper and spice dotting the fruit. Nice stucture and good long finish. I would have liked a bit more elegance in my Margaux, but this is good value from a really good left-bank vintage.
