Thursday, September 1, 2011 - 2011 Simple Series 9: Sean BOD (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck @ Paragon): Alcohol :: 12.5%
Opened for about 7hrs and decanted for 2hrs. Such dark color, this magnificent Mouton seems never aged, on the color itself everyone think this could be as young as a 2000! Nose was quite tight and shy, but it was deep and intense. Cedar, pencil shaving, capsicum, earth with sweet dark fruits underneath. The palate is as youthful as the color may suggest, still terribly tight despite such long hrs of aeration. Formidable structured dominated the palate and the underlying sweet dark fruits were struggling to surface. Large scale, expansive with mouth coating intensity but this is well delineated, focus and precise. Massive tannin here, provide good grip and depth but this is very ripe and fine grained with no sense of heaviness. The finish is unreal with wonderful freshness! The last sip is getting sweeter and juicier. This is no way near the its drinking window. Hand off for at least another decade. Today I prefer the completeness of the Turque but I believe the Mouton will be eventually overcome the Turque 10yrs down the road. 93-95+
