Alcohol :: 12% Degorged at April-2010. Medium golden. Expressive on the nose, with focus aromas of green apple, passion fruits with light oxidative in character and touch of yeastiness, still very tight. The palate is showing better though, superb fine bubble, like my guest said, MICRO bubbly. At first the bubble is persistent but lack a little bit of vigor, with time, the bubble just get more and more vigorous, but this never come across sharp nor too powerful as the bubble is so fine that gently glide through that caressing your palate with good freshness that moved on to the very smooth mouth feel with flavors of yeastiness, green apple, passion fruits, slight honey coated yellow fruits, mineral that culminated into long, persistence intense finish. Very elegance. Buy - Yes.
Alcohol :: 12.5% Decanted for 1.5hrs. Deep garnet core with light hue, still kinda shy on both nose and palate but show good class and depth. Toward the dinner, the wine gain better even better depth. Incredibly lovely bouquet soared from the glass with cedar, graphite intermixed with perfume violet, sweet cigar box along with elegance aromas of blackberry and creme de cassis complete with touch of savoury meatiness, very classy. Medium bodied, this is a silent killer, never shout or noisy, almost fully mature, a classic Pauillac with cut and precision, layer of blackcurrant, sweet tobacco and cigar accompany by this elegance cedar and earth that all perfectly balance and support by the blackberry like, mouth watering acidity with super depth and sense of finesse. There was this fresh and ripe tannin kick in at the back which provide the grip and added a even more weight and power to the already impressive mid palate depth. All about harmonious and finesse here and the silky smooth, fresh complex juicy finish just getting better and better with time with dark plum, cedar and mineral nuanced that's linger seamlessly. Terrific. I believe another 3-5yrs we will see a fully mature and integrated wine. Buy - Yes.
