  Dinner at Moomba (The Moomba, Circular Road): An old Bordeaux wannabe - strangely Cab Sauv like in flavour profile, with just the acid and tannin structure of the wine saying otherwise. A bit over the hill I think, but so very pleasurable. Nose had plenty of earthy musky sous bois tones, paired with some leather and dark cherry and cassis tones. Pleasant enough. Palate carried on pretty much the same vein - still lots of lively acidity running through clear, vibrant dark cherry and cassis notes paried with little hints of leather, earth and herbs. The tannins had completely smoothened out, so this was silkily gliding across the palate, but it did lack some grip and structure, especially towards the finish. Otherwise, a real pleasure to drink.

  Simple Friday Night; 7/23/2010-7/25/2010 (Moomba): Smells of aged claret earthiness and muskiness. Fowl feathers and somewwhat leathery. Palate wise was kinda thinning out with little grip left. Well past its best by date but nose still holding up pretty well though.
