Saturday, January 14, 2006 - Hong Kong Travels; 1/9/2006-1/19/2006 (Around HK): The lightest and loveliest salmon-pink with a vigorous and enticing mousse of minute bubbles. When first opened, the nose is more about the white tree fruit and light citrus elements. With a little time, clear strawberry and light raspberry come out in a puff of fruit and floral sweetness. The sweet floral element settles down, but the berry fruit persists nicely. On the palate, a tremendous balanced tension is the main impression (fine pointal bubbles but still a creaminess; sweet red fruit but still a brightness and deftness that makes it seem almost weightless). Finishing with good concentration, this is a real pleasure. Revisited two days later (largely flat), the wine displays a greater degree of real sweetness than expected, but is still balanced by very nice acidity and has a terrific purity of fruit.
