Saturday, October 13, 2018 - Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulee de Serrant Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): TCA. Sadly so. Tragic cardboard aromas aside, it actually had an interesting nose, with mushroom and chrysanthemum, a waft of sweet, slightly browning overripe apples, and then your typical lanolin notes. The palate was where the corkiness really came out though, with scalped, truncated flavours of honey and yellow fruit fading into a short, damp cardboard ending. Pity. This was still well cut and defined, with a real minerally toughness that still gave it a sense of grief and structure. Great acidity too. I would have loved to try a healthy bottle.
