A very moorish, well-made and delicious wine. Red fruits, game and a touch of minerality on the palate. Depth, structure and acidity in balance to produce a robust and delicious wine. Long finish.

On nose : med+ intensity, red fruit : dry raspberries, cherry, deep red flora, sweet tobacco leaves, subtle wood toasted, after an hour, it developed into lichorice, lovely leafiness, some mushroom, very pleasent!
On palate : dry, med intensity flavour, high acidity, sweet dry raspberry on front palate, med body, elegant, tea leaf and sweet tannin on mid palate, med alcohol with savoury and black tea aftertaste. Pleasent, good structure with med finishing.
There is no regret for us, every time I enjoy Comte Armand, for the clos des epeneaux, never disappointed. it is a highly rated vineyard in Pommard. It does have elegancy and with complexity. I love this wine so much and it is best match with roast duck or pigeons. This wine is surely that can be waitted for 5 more years but u can sill enjoy the fruitiness now!

This was a superb wine. Light to medium ruby and clear. Bright red fruits. Crushed raspberries and strawberries. Some tannic grip. Great acidity. Very approachable now and will last another decade at least. Likely to become a collectors item given this was the first vintage of new ownership. Drank with JO and SH.

Bright and focused nose with lots of spice, Roses Very pretty. Some green. Bit of marzipan. On the palate bright red. High acid. Sour and Maraschino cherry. Minerals. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1-1.5/2 = 16-16.5/20.

Litigators' Wine Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): A nice wine. This had a fragrant, masculine nose of mineral, earth and subtle dark cherries leading into a fine, sinewy palate, with firm tannins and bright acidity framing pure, primary notes of black cherries lined with stony, earthy mineral flavours at the finish. Surprisingly advanced, I think this will drink very nicely in 3-4 years time.
