Tuesday, February 23, 2021 - Dinner at Beng Wan (Beng Wan Terrace): An amazingly fresh and well-stored bottle of DP 1998, this was really nice - perfectly poised between exciting adolescence and aged maturity. The nose was lovely, with notes of honey and roasted nuts, red apples, and a nice little dose of peppery spice and savoury minerality, all devolving into a nicely salty, buttery brioche aromas. Absolutely wonderful. The palate was still so lively, with bright, almost stern citrusy acidity and a surprisingly lively mousse wrapped around a beautifully full core of honey and apples and berry flesh - so fresh, so energetic. Just traipsing on a high-wire of minerality and acidity into a lovely full finish of honey and gentle spice. Very good now, but I suspect this will be even better in 2-3 years time.
