Community Tasting Notes 3

  March 23, 2012 - Domaines Schlumberger Dinner (Imperial Treasure, Great World City): This was very nice. There was a marked change of style as we went back into the 1990s, with the wines showing in a less rich, more defined style. Apart from the very good 2001, I actually preferred the older wines quite a bit more. This one, in particular, had a very nice nose. Very different from the rest, with an almost Burgundian note of funky undergrowth framing red apple and gentle floral aromas, and little surrounding layer of lychee scents. Nice. The palate had a nice melting feel to its, with really yummy flavours of sweet red apples and peaches mingling with little tropical notes and a lovely kiss of minerality on the midpalate. The wine was obviously made from a fleshy varietal, yet there was a nice breath of freshness lent by acidity that was perhaps missing in some of the younger iterations. It was just a bit short on the dried flower-filled finish, but the wine was so charming that you readily forgave that. Not perfect, but very nice indeed.

  March 22, 2012 - Mature, barnyardish, sweaty and chicken nose. Ripe mangoes and honeyed peach and rambutans, still showing high acidity and some green asparagus notes on the finish.
