Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 22, 2019 - Kelvin T's 40th Birthday (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Tanjong Pagar): A sweet treat - this was a lovely way to end the night. The nose showed a touch of volatile acidity at first, with some acetone that took time to blow off; beyond that, there were lovely aromas of orange peel and dried apricots, sweet red apples, and then dollops of orange blossom honey and perfume, almost soap-like floral tones. Very nice. The palate was certainly rich and powerful, with a very honeyed botrytis character to it; but it was also really clean and fresh, with almost primary notes of apricots, gently infused with spice and stony mineral. I really liked this - it was a study in both profound depth and fresh energy, all lending it a really effortless feel in spite of its depth and power. Given its sweetness, freshness and depth, this came across as quite an ageless wine - I do feel that it will take even more time before it truly hits its stride though. I would love to try this again 10 years down the road.
