Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 25, 2016 - Epic Champagne dinner (Taberna, Bukit Merah): Good, but one of the less impressive bottle of 1996 DP I have had in recent times - this was very much overshadowed by its 1996 peer group on the night. The nose was bright, fresh and attractive, with sprigs of green herb spirnkled over some aromas cream and bread, and something that reminded me of toasted buckwheat. Attractive. The palate was still full of energy, with a strong, but very fine mousse and some lovely round acidity lending a juicy twang to a sweet blush of fruit, apples and strawberries - all very round, ripe and friendly, with some brioche on the midpalate, and little sprinkle of spice and mineral at the finish. Attractive, and yummy, but somehow less noble than either of the Selosse or Salon 1996 wines in the same flight.
