Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 7, 2021 - Belated Birthday Dinner (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): This was lovely. It had a beautiful nose, with drifts of sweet cream, white flowers and honeyed pears and ripe apples, some earthy mineral, and maybe with just a touch of butter and caramel my speculos biscuits hinting at new oak running along behind. A charming nose. I loved the palate. It was a beautiful marriage of Sauzet’s conviction and complexity, with the sunny generosity of the Folatieres terroir, and then the bright acidity and lovely purity of the 2007 vintage. This just unfolded across the mouth with lovely notes of red apples, honeyed pears and sweeter pineapples riding on a bed of fresh, lemony acidity. Absolutely lovely. Great finish too, superbly integrated and gently insistent, with a long tail of butter, almond and stony mineral, all trailing away into the distance. What struck me though was the tremendous cut, definition and purity to the wine, with a wonderful transparency shining through the entire package. This is drinking well now, but will continue to shine over the next 5-6 years and beyond.
