Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 16, 2019 - TNs: Female Burgundy Winemakers Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): A very solid if unspectacular wine. It had a rather dark, savoury nose, with dark fruit and spice couched in notes of earth, meat and a touch of funk. the palate shared some of that savoury character, with notes of olive tapenade, earth and meat forming bassy backdrop for muscular, yet nicely focused flavours of black cherries earth. It was a full, powerful wine, with a good chew lent to it by firm 2005 tannins and juicy acidity as well. There was a just a hint of oxidisative browned fruits towards a long finish on the back-palate, otherwise this can together quite nicely. I would wait 5-10 years more on the bottle though. Like many 2005s, it still needs time to evolve.
