Tuesday, June 7, 2011 - Unexpected Lunch (Les Amis - Shaw Centre): Alcohol :: 12%
Light golden in color, very bright with very fine beads that slowly flow in the glass that last till the end of the lunch. The nose show lots of white floral scents and pure white fruits that is lightly honey coated with light oxidative notes: nut and yeast across the aromas spectrum. With time, it developed and evolved into more ripe yellow fruits, melon and some green herbs complexity too. I'm amazed of how approachable it was, at least compare to the last bottle. Not fully open for business, but it show good sense of balance between the acid and fruits that carry out by the very fine moose. Not as good punch or tension than the previous bottle, this is slightly loose. Similar to the nose, the flavors spectrum changed from white fruits to yellow fruits with herbs that underpinned by the acidity and mineral backbone. Finish is good but not long, but this is delicious nevertheless, especially paired with the Truffle and Caviar dishes. Buy - Maybe - Yes.
