Friday, March 16, 2012 - 2012 - Mr. K birthday celebration (Chui Huay Lim (醉花林) club - TeoChew Cuisine): Alcohol :: TBA
Opened for 8hrs. Bright medium golden. The aroma is quite bold and broad-shoulder, more Pinot? Very inviting though. Spicy, pepper, almond, sea breeze with peaches, lemon and red currant fruits. With time, a light dose of honey emerged. This medium-full bodied DP is bright and vibrant. I like the purity here. It was quite sweet at first, but when it sits in the glass, the balance between sweetness and acidity getting better and it was almost perfect after about 30mins in the glass. Flavor wise, complex citrus, tangerine, lemon peel as well as red currant fruits. Excellent intensity, though not big scale, this is deeply flavor with complex citrus, tangerine, lemon peel as well as red currant fruits. It turns a bit tighter at the end, with touch of spiciness and savory note lingered at the long finish. 91

Day-2
Almond, lemon, grape fruits, earth, gun powder, very expressive and focus. Quite creamy with almond, hazelnut and lemon flavors dominated the palate. It flows smoothly to the mid palate along with complex, saline minerality. Good mid palate depth and structure, with almost crisp acidity for the lift. The finished is long and lingering with mineral and lemon peel bitterness. Everything seems great here, however, there was this light alcohol heat also can be detected at the very end which took away some finesse and purity. 89
