Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 2, 2011 - Double Birthday Celebration for Fiona and Me (Oversea Restaurant, Shaw Towers): This had plenty of bottle age on it (we know that K had kept it in storage for at least a couple of years after he bought it), and was showing wonderfully on the night. I must say that the nose was much better than the palate, but then again, what a nose it was! Really deep, complex, with glorious scents of yeast, chalk, earthy and red apples, all mingling around in a sweet / savoury melange. Woah. The palate was unfortunately more perky than profound, a bit simple really, especially after that nose. No complaints about how it drank though, it was such a pleasure. Super lively mousse, juicy apples galore (both red Fujis and green Granny Smiths!) - absolutely delicious, very fresh, very alive, yet not aggresively acidic. Not much complexity apart from a tiny bit of earthy, yeasty stuff at the very end, but this was just so yummy. A perfect pairing for Har Lok (fried fresh prawns in caramelised soy sauce) too. Fun, undemanding stuff!
