Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 19, 2011 - 100 Year Old Champagne and Other Wonders (Kingyo, Marina Square): This was surprising. Blinded, we all could not place it, but it was fair to say that everyone in the table liked it. It is hard to gauge the quality of the wine, as it was wonderfully paired with a miso-cod dish, which may have biased us, but it was certainly well-made. There was a nice nose here, with lots of minerally, chalky aromas and saline seashell notes that made some guess Chablis. There were also some rather Burg-like white fruit and lemon scents beyond that. The palate was not very Burg though - more Italian I would say. Clean, fresh, yet with a bed of powdery, chalky, seashelly mineral and some hints of lentil, it was quite impossible to place where this came from. Past that, there were very subtle, almost neutral flavours of white fruit, lime and a long, stony minerally finish touch with a slightly flowery perfume. Very nicely balanced, this was a really good food wine.
