This elegant red wines has tricked me twice n a year! First time was in a blind tasting with the sommeliers in DB Bistro (courtesy of Mr.Rajeshwaran Gopal), second was in the recent Malaysia Champions reselection for World Best Sommelier Competition this March! What a tricky wine that my guess it was a fine Burgundy wines, Chambolle/Morey because of the elegancy! Second try in the competition, probably because of pressure and time constrain, I thought it was a burgundian pinot noir / bourgogne because of its fruits forward and juiciness..
I might be wrong in guessing game but I'm sure this is a very good wine. Superb plum and red cherry character, elegance and smooth tannins and finishing. Good mineral chacracter too as later that I found out that Mr. Marcel planted his wine on granite soils.
Great wine to drink on its own or with some cold cut meat.
