Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 7, 2021 - Belated Birthday Dinner (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Decent, but probably a half-step behind the other wines tonight. It had a rather funky, muddy, earthy nose, with sous bous and soil, floating around deeper notes of dark cherries and blueberries and deeper blackberry aromas, all with a dose earthy, spicy minerality at the sides. The palate had a Grand Cru depth and texture to it, with fine but firm tannins and deep-set acidity framing juicy notes of dark cherries and blackberries, a touch of blueberries, and then muscular notes of florals, spice, and a deeply wound beefy, meaty, earthy pulling away into a long, full finish. All quite nice - just that it lacked a touch to finesse. There was lots of charming, if rather rustic generosity on this though. Rather delicious stuff, starting to show well now, but with some upside to it yet.
