  If you drink old Malconsorts for the sheer pleasure of meniscus viewing, here’s your wine.

  Expressive nose with earthy scents dominating, some red fruit in the background. The palate is very structured, just a touch too extracted for my taste. I guess that is also the cooler vintage. Mature, nice to drink now.

  Spicy red florals, polished bright red fruits and an expressive elegant display of flirts , acid and balance with satisfying mid weight and finish.

  Drinks at Mood Indigo (Mood Indigo, Jalan Kilang Barat, Singapore): A completely different animal from the 1999 Lamarche Grands-Echezeaux that we had alongside - while that was about noble structure and sinewy strength, this was all light and air and perfume - a beautiful, if rather lightweight expression of Malconsorts. It had a lush, lovely nose, with layers of meat and mushrooms and earth packed in with fragrant drifts of dark cherries and wood spice and perfumed flowers - gorgeous, heady stuff. The palate was not quite a lush, but every bit as perfumed. While the nose perhaps raised the expectation of a nice deep mouthful, this was quite distinctly midweight, with a lovely clear purity and freshness showing in flavours of dark cherries and red berries swathed in a robe of sweet, orangey acidity and the fine tannins still providing a little grip on the finish. While the midpalate filled up and took on some weight and power with time and air in the decanter, I thought the finish was never fully convincing, ending in a rather short kiss of brambly herb and spice. In spite of its faults though, this was still a beautiful wine to drink. I am very partial to this style - elegant, pure, crystalline. It is drinking very nicely now as well. Yummy.

  As thrilling as any wine I've had in a very long time. The nose soars with dark spicy fruit, and unfolds over an hour to reveal all sorts of spices, amazing amplitude on the nose - just flat out gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Elegant and well balanced on the palate with stunningly fragrant length and a youthful freshness on the finish. Amazing wine - one of the best I've had.
