Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 - 2011 Special Session 4 - Wine bash of 2011 (Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant, The Forum Shopping Mall, Orchard Road): Popped and poured, ullarge was a bit low but the condition of this bottle is absolutely pristine. Dark brownish in colour. This has very unique bouquet, complex aromas of assortment plum (salted, sweet preserve, sour) with secondary note of autumn leaves, mineral, tea leaves and a touch of funkiness that blew off with air. Similar to the 76 Leroy RSV, this tasted a little bit old and lean at first but continue to put on weight and brighten up with better intensity of fruits and liveliness. This has seductive dark fruits sweetness, salinity and meatiness sailing on the palate along with enticing secondary flavours that formed the complex and lush mouth feel. Long finish with sweet dark fruits, bitter sweet cocoa and creamy vanilla aftertaste. This is a outstanding wine but lack a bit of the finesse to be really extraordinary.
