HDH Burgundy Auction (Chicago, IL): Stanky in the way Leroy always is. The palate is a bit austere, earthy, and loaded with acid as the 2001 vintage is wont to be. Quite tart and perhaps a little bit more advanced than it ought to be.

Dinner at Nude (Nude, MBFC, Singapore): Okay, but not great. This was very advanced, with a developed nose of dried cherries and berries, dried earth and a little sprinkle of brambly notes. The palate had the high acidity of the vintage, but the fruit had dropped off somewhat, leaving a blush of preserved cherries and berries trailing away into an orange peel finish with a little peck of tannins. Okay, but tired. This needs drinking up.

Opened for dinner at Allred's after 4th Saturday group. The fourth time is the charm. The prior three bottles were complete crap and almost undrinkable. This was from another planet. Very elegant with soft red fruits and floral notes on the nose and palate.

Classic red fruit aromas. Good balance and length. Enjoyable.
