Alex and Fiona's pre-wedding tasting (Lucas, Klapsons Hotel, Singapore): Pretty decent for a HCDN. Nice nose showed red fruit, savoury earth and spice with a gentle floral lilt. The palate had noticeably high acidity framing more red fruit notes and a finish showing slightly rustic, woddy tannins along a bit of heat. Not great, but it got much better when paired with a roast chicken dish, with the tannins softening and the meat bringing out a nice mouthfull of sweet red fruit and lots of pretty florals at the finish.
