Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - Peter's Birthday Dinner (Imperial Treasure Shanghai, Ngee Ann City, Singapore): A lovely drop, drinking wonderfully well at this point of its evolution. It had a such a generous, nicely rounded bouquet, with mature notes of honey and red apples alongside an savoury oxidative edge of earth and chicken essence, and then a lift pf dried flowers - almost chamomile-like there. Lots of depth and complexity on that nose. The palate showed off all the pleasing aspects of the 1985 vintages - it was rich, ripe, and warmly generous, with a full, almost powerful expression of red apples, honey and flowers. Not the most complex of Dom Perignons at its age, but this had such warmth and fullness, with a wonderful depth of mouth-filling flavour, and incredible length on its honeyed finish. While the fizz had died down by this point, there was still enough acidity to keep this nicely balanced too. A lovely champagne, drinking quite at peak.
