Friday, November 22, 2019 - Kelvin T's 40th Birthday (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Tanjong Pagar): 2000 base, zero dosage, no malolatic. This was a very nice NV - a sinewy, characterful champagne. I loved the nose, with its savoury earth and saline mineral aromas curled around a core of white fruit with an edge of oxidation. The palate was bone dry, with a beautiful spine of stony mineral spearing it’s way through a powerful mouthful of white fruit and citrus zest, all running into a nice, slightly spiced finish. Fine mousse and good acidity too. Sinewy and tightly-packed, with a lovely sense of strength and definition to it, this was a solid NV.
