Pauillac 2GCC. This wine seem pretty shut down at this stage in terms of both nose and palate. A bit of mineral scent. Flavour profile is pretty tight, earthy, stony but some promising complexity peeking. If tasted blind, I'd thought it's a wine a third of its S$200 (US$160) price, poor QPR. But raving reviews all round and it's a super vintage, so might just be in a dumb phase right now (8.2/10). (Photo borrowed fr '04 vintage)Saturday, November 12, 2011
