Monday, February 27, 2017 - 2003 Burgundy Grand Cru Dinner (Iggy's, Hilton Hotel, Singapore): I am not sure how this popped into a line-up of 2003 Grand Crus, but it was an interesting interlude. It nosed more liked a German or Austrian Spatburgunder than a Burgundy Pinot to me, with cherry-ade and cola note, some sour plums, and whiff of unfermented grape juice, all spiked with a stemmy green hint and a bit of glue. A very "natural wine" nose if you know what I mean. The palate was a lot more interesting. It had a yummy, easygoing feel to it, with red berries and cherries fringed with a little green, all nicely balanced with a good bit of bright acidity, which made it a very quaffable wine. Enjoyable and approachable, but not simple either, there was some stuff going on there. Odd nose aside, this was actually pretty nice.
