Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 11, 2013 - William's Bachelor's Party (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): I absolutely loved this. It had wonderful old Pomerol nose of dried herbs and sweet tobacco, toasted vanilla and fragrant sandalwood spice, all swirling around a core of beautifully sweet plums, raspberries and lovely floral notes. I could have sniffed this all night long, if not for the fact that the wine actually drank (almost) as well as it smelt. The palate was at its seductive peak, with a lovely sense of freshness and energy and perfectly resolved tannins - silk rather than velvet here – setting the scene for a full, plump attack filled with ripe plums and berries. Very yummy, even opulent, and though it did lean out a little by the midpalate, no one would ever accuse this wine of being thin – it always had a wonderful seductive fleshiness to it, even if it seemed rather less voluptuous around the waist and hips than initially promised. Lovely finish too, wonderfully resolved and developed, with gentle but insistent notes of earth and spice and more of those seductive sweet plums drifting away into the distance. This was in fine form and ridiculously delicious. Paired perfectly with roast goose. Yum.
