Friday, March 16, 2012 - 2012 - Mr. K birthday celebration (Chui Huay Lim (醉花林) club - TeoChew Cuisine): Opened for 2hrs. Medium garnet core with light brownish rim. Stunningly expressive on the nose. The bouquet is absolutely intriguing and has a nice depth and complexity in it: healthy sweet dark plum and blackcurrant in the core with old saddle leather, earth, mint, wild meatiness and floral! Medium bodied, a little bit soft and lean at first, but with my previous exp with this wine, I knew it will put on weight and complexity in the glass. Indeed, in about 15-25mins, this fully matured Trotanoy has finally fully opened up and is in a total harmonious now, so seductive and elegance. The freshness in this wine is amazing, a well-stored bottle. Still possesses good structure and a bit of tannin for the grip, and gradually expand on the palate with excellent mid palate depth, with layer of sweet dark fruits, cloves, cinnamon, leather and spicy tone. Long finish with gentle grip, lingering effortlessly with roasted herbs, sweet currant juice. While this is smaller scale and less intense compared to the 1970 but the sexiness and finesse is all the same.
