Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 18, 2022 - Dinner at Nikki's (Gallop Singapore): Interestingly served after a strong bottle of 1996 Mouton, this actually worked quite well as the last wine of the night, It was drinking quite well given its relative youth. The typical Amoureuses prettiness showed through even when served blind, with red cherries and berries, rose petals, and then a touch of Groffier's telltale brambly herb and spice bringing up the rear. A really nice nose. The palate was delicious too. Round, morerish and savoury, it showed some of the red cherries on the nose shading into darker beluberry tones, these seasoned with notes of violets, herb and a little oolong tea, and then more savoury tones of olives and a little hint of brine as the wine trailed away into a nice long minerally finish. A bit thicker in the mouth and less transparent than one would normally associate with Les Amoureuses (rather typical Groffier in that regards), but everything was still framed in a sexy mouthful of soft tannins wed to bright acidity which gave a nod the wine's terroir, and made it very deliciously drinkable bottle as well. Yummy.
