Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 18, 2019 - 1989 Bordeaux - 30 years on. (Famous Treasure, Capitol Piazza, Singapore): Lovely. This had a wonderful nose. Pure Pomerol, with lovely lush notes of earthy forest floor, then spice and tobacco, a whiff of smoked tea leaves, some violets, and then beautiful blueberry and plum aromas. Lovely aromatic stuff. The palate was drinking beautifully too. Pure, lifted and transparent, with delicious flavours of fresh plums, dark cherries and blackberries, all infused with a lovely warm spice; and then a nice earthiness ringing on the bass notes. Absolutely mouthfilling, and yet effortlessly elegant - this was power and opulence without any weight at all. Wonderfully easy to drink too, with soft balancing acidity and beautifully silky tannins carrying the wine into a deliciously gentle finish. It just lingered and lingered on the back palate with a blush of juicy fruit, and some lovely quiet floral notes floating away into the distance. Beautiful stuff, and drinking deliciously well now.
