Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 30, 2010 - Welcoming Salil to Singapore (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): Solid stuff as always. Dec 2009 disgorgement, so it was quickly poured into the decanter, sacrificing bubbles for taste. Turned out to be the right decision too - the small pour that Dave took fresh out from the bottle was super tight. 2.5 hours later, and served in proper white wine glasses it showed a deep, deep nose of yeast, bread, rich red apples, earth, white meat and a touch of toast - could almost be a top-class white Burg. The palate showed beautiful balance and defintion, with clean, clear cherry tones and sweet red apples all singing wonderful from the attack. This was at once substantial, deep and lingering, with a deep minerality that gave the champagne such a wonderful depth and intensity. Amazing stuff - amongst the best bottles I have had so far. A good pairing with the truffle noodles, it was unsual, but refreshing to end the meal with a Champagne instead of starting with one.
