Friday, November 22, 2019 - Kelvin T's 40th Birthday (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Tanjong Pagar): Drinking beautifully - this is probably the best of the 4 bottles I have had since release. This had a lovely nose too, with wafts of brioche and browned butter, caramel and spice, a touch of earth and white meat, then sweet, ripe apples and gentle florals. Lovely. The palate was great too, with a wonderful clarity and focus to its strong, powerful flavours of red apples, earth, mineral and spice, all tossed together with a lovely flow of brioche, honey and a gentle nuttiness as the wine stretched out into a long, powerful finish. There was still a good bit of juicy acidity and a fine mousse, making a nice shape in the mouth. Focused, powerful and compelling, the 2000 Krug is really coming into its own now.
