Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 25, 2016 - Epic Champagne dinner (Taberna, Bukit Merah): Wow. This was the best bottle in a flight that comprised 3 bottles of Substance and 3 bottles of VO, all from different disgorgment dates. I am just putting down my notes of my favourite bottle each (of the Substance and the VO). It had such a lovely nose, with stone fruit and chalk aromas wed to oxidative shades of white meat, smoked herbs, and exotic wood spices, like cardammon and cloves. A very bright, attractive bouquet. The palate was at a very nice place, with a nicely rounded, but still very fresh expression of lemons and limes dancing over a deeper base of stone fruit flavous. There was a superb sense of intensity, and plenty of power here, but as with the best of the Selosse wines in the flight, it was the clarity and transperancy of the wine that stood out. This was just beautiful deep, round and matured, yet weightless and transparent. A wonderfully satsifying drink.
