Saturday, November 24, 2012 - The ULD (Ultimate Label Drinker's) Dinner (Imperial Treasure, Asia Square): Unfortunately corked. Wet cardboard aromas haunted an otherwise pleasant nose of ripe black fruit, cassis and blackberries dosed with a good amount of earth and spice. The palate was whole enough with clean acid and fine tannins running through pure cassis notes and a touch of mint, so much so that I could place it as a 1995 Pauillac. I could not get past the flaw though, this was pretty much scalped by TCA, with the flavours turning out quite flat and the finish ringing of cardboard. Pity, because I suspect this may otherwise have been a pretty nice wine.
