Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 13, 2015 - Kelvin's Baby Shower (Burlamacco, Amoy Street, Singapore): A solid, enjoyable Chianti. This has developed nicely since I last had it 7 years ago. Tonight, it showed a really nice nose of sweet dried cherries and wild berries flecked with powdered herbs, dried spices and a little touch of dried earth. A very Italian bouquet – nice stuff. The palate was in great shape, drinking beautifully with nice flavours of prunes and plums and dried cherries laced with slightly chewy tannins and bright, tomato-ish Sangiovese acidity. The finish had a nice dusting of Italian herbs and a dried prune character that spoke of the hot 1997 vintage. Altogether really nice and drinking wonderfully. Time to start drinking up though. This seems perched just on the outside edge of its peak drinking window and will probably start going downhill in the next few years.
