Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 22, 2022 - Dinner at Kel's (Kelvin and Joyce's Place, Bishan): Amazing again. Maybe not quite as stunning as the last bottle of 2017 I had, but this nevertheless remains one of the youngest drinking Turques I have tasted, and one of the best. What a nose this had - plums and cassis, violets and spice, smoke and butter. An amazing melange of sweet seductive scents. Heady and perfumed - it was absolutely seduction. The palate was just delicious too. Melting tannins, juicy lemony acidity, with beautifully pure flavours of dark cherries and wild berries, spice and biscuits, these garlanded with a blush of violets and a subtle minerality pulling away into a wonderfully elegant, quite endless finish. Such a beautiful wine, drinking wonderfully in its youth.
