Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 15, 2019 - Biondi-Santi Riserva wine dinner (Taberna, Bukit Merah): 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay. From a magnum, this was lipsmackingly delicious - really quite surprisingly so given how young it is. Symptomatic of the modern Cristal style I suppose - advanced, but in a lovely way. It had a really pretty nose, with apple fruit, spice and mineral, with a bit of baked bread aromas on the side. The palate had a nice richness to it, with ripe lemons and red apples carried on a stream of snappy acidity, with a lovely mineral undertow beneath that. There was a gorgeous shape and poise on the wine, with a lovely pull of insistent, linear intensity that led into a lemon zesty finish. Quite wonderful - power and finesse aplenty in a delicious complete package. Wow.
