Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 1, 2009 - Winekakis' Dinner at Asia Grand (Asia Grand, Odeon Towers): This was lovely on the day, just edging out a shyer 2000 Marc Colin Montrachet. Super expressive, playful nose. Truffles, earth, forest fern, some sea-shell minerality, ripe lemons, a dusting of vanilla, tons of honey and really interesting chrysanthemum notes. The palate took off where the nose left off - with a sticky Grand Cru mouthfeel with lots of chrysanthemum flavours melded with pear and other white fruits, a touch of smoke and white button mushrooms. Lovely complexity, lots of lush power, yet super integrated and treading a lovely balance between freshness and weight. Finish was long and delicious, and very interesting. A whiff of smokiness linger for awhile as the fruits receded in the mouth, and then the wine just took off again on a totally different gear with biscuity, breadfruit and potato notes. I think the Monty is just that bit classier and more noble, but this was just yummier and a lot more fun to drink at the moment.
