Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 29, 2019 - Dinner at Tonny (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Some quality, but this was in a rather awkward stage. It was really oaky on the nose - with lots of vanilla and browned butter notes swirling alongside rather ripe yellow fruit and melon notes. The oak abated a bit with time, and it got quite attractivebut there was always a clear influence on the palate. Unfortunately, the palate always felt a bit too oaked, with a vanilla and butter overtone to its otherwise ripe and oily yellow fruited flavours. It felt a bit flabby at first, before the shape and acidity of the 2008 vintage emerged nicely on the backpalate. There is quality here, but it needs time to shed the baby fat and new oak influence. Next bottle probably in 4-5 years.
