Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 29, 2010 - Simple Series II: Henry's Birthday (Ming Kee, Macpherson Road): Opened this about 45 minutes before serving - it helped a lot. Not a single trace of burnt rubber that haunted some of the bottles that I popped and poured in the past. This was an absolute charmer. Nose was super-expressive, with lots of tropical fruit, especially mangoes and passion fruit, along with flowery soap suds, all with a lovely freshness that made the wine seem really alive. Lots of complexity on the palate as well, with pure dried mango tones wed to apricots and more passion fruit with layers of honeyed flavours. Rich and sweet, but still balanced. I might have liked a little more freshness, but this was really nice nonetheless. Finish was long and spicy, rounding the wine of very nicely indeed. An excellent showing.
