Community Tasting Notes 25

    March 23, 2024 - Peach, papaya, cantaloupe, beeswax, vanilla, cardamom pod, coriander. It's a rich, unctuous wine. Even with it's high alcohol it maintains balance, and doesn't feel too hot. This feels like a feat at 15.3%. We tried from 4 different glasses to compare, and preferred a burgundy stem by far. Great wine!

    March 23, 2024 - Quite incredible in some ways - nose opens up and gives a fair bit
    Sone rich deep notes and flavours
    Palate is quite punchy but given depth the 15.3% doesn’t detract as much as it could
    It’s is fresh, it is big and does have that lanolin and furniture polish element
    Has a good long finish, great drive and energy

    March 16, 2024 - Popped and poured. This is a medium gold wine. The nose is terrific, giving scents of papaya, honeydew melon, spring flowers, wild honey, beeswax, and lemon zest. In the mouth, this is rich, lush, full, and round, leaving a creamy finish with a slight talc aspect. Overall, I found this to be a high-quality and unique white wine, one that is dangerously drinkable. The main downside is the silly overweight bottle. Drink now or hold 5-7 years. 93 points.

    January 27, 2024 - Park90 / Grand Cru SQN Masterclass: Blend of five grapes; 15.3% alcohol. Big-boned, tropical fruit of peach and apricot. Too candied and came across as a look-at-me wine that was trying too hard to be serious Chardonnay.

    January 27, 2024 - Tasted at the Sine Qua Non Q.E.D. The Masterclass Experience, part of the Fruits of the Vine 2024 at The Singapore Edition organised by Grand Cru.

    Gold in colour with a very pretty and well-structured nose. Pure gold in the glass. A wine that went zig-zag on the palate. Waves of fresh acidity kept attacking the senses with very pronounced white stone fruits notes.

    Amazing mix of grape varietals from different plots and new French and old oak to produce such a complex yet harmonious wine. Wonderful.
