October 6, 2020 - SMD at Yan (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): A baby, but boy this was absolutely lovely. We decanted it for an hour or so, and it really opened this up beautifully. What a lovely nose this had, with drifts of spice and flowers and apples, beeswax and honey - a lovely raft of aromas. The palate was young, but entirely lovely, with sweet apples and ripe lemons gliding across the mouth in a wonderful show of precision and grace. Neat little finish too, with little notes of lemon zest, mineral, and just a hint of florals. There was just a crystalline cut and thrust about the wine, but also a creamy, almost palate-enveloping fruitiness - so that it drank so very easily, almost making the wine seem simpler than it actually was. A real sleight of hand there. All in all, a wonderful champagne, with its best years still way ahead of it yet.
