Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 13, 2015 - Kelvin's Baby Shower (Burlamacco, Amoy Street, Singapore): Wow, this was really nice. A fine example of just how good the 1998 vintage was on the right-bank. It had a beautiful nose, swirling with tobacco and spice and damp earth, plums and black cherries - a beautiful Merlot bouquet that got me wanting to smoke a cigar. Lovely palate too – soft, seductive, with lovely full flavours of plums and sweet black cherries infused with smoky, spicy, earthy tobacco notes that filled the backpalate in a lively finish. There was lovely balance here, with bright acidity and the finest tannins giving the wine a really nice sense of focus. Absolutely delicious, this is lovely stuff that is starting to drink nicely now. It still has the substance and balance to age effortlessly over the next decade and more though. Very, very good indeed.
