Saturday, August 21, 2021 - Lunch at Les Amis (Les Amis, Shaw House, Singapore): Such a delightful wine - this has really evolved nicely over the past 9 months since my last bottle. It was a beautiful pairing with duck margret too. I just loved the nose on this, with black cherries and berries, spice and violets, and then a little trail of stony mineral and brambly herb running alongside. A really perfumed bouquet. The palate was still on the youthful side, with fine tannins and bright acidity still lending the wine a little chew, but this was a lot more evolved than the dense, slightly tight bottle from last heat. In fact, that bit of youthful structure aside, this was actually quite pleasingly open and drinking rather well, with juicy cherries and blueberry flavours garlanded with a fragrant wreath of warm spice and earthy mineral trailing away into a neat finish. Transparent, pure and with a lovely sense of midweighted presence - this was a delight to drink. It will continue to improve in the bottle over the next few years as well.
