Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 22, 2019 - Kelvin T's 40th Birthday (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Tanjong Pagar): This was stunning - a absolutely delicious drop that put both the 1990 and 2000 Krug we had alongside in the shade. It had a crazy nose, with roasted chestnuts, brioche, caramel and sweet chantilly cream, and then a lovely tail of ripe stone fruited aromas with a lift of perfumed florals at the sides. A wonderful, kaleidoscopic bouquet. The palate was beautifully rich, yet wonderfully controlled - an iron fist in a velvet glove. Here, the wine just unfolded across the mouth in layers of sweet lemons, ripe apples and preserved stone fruit. Weighty, rich, muscular, with tons of inexorable power, yet wonderfully cut and defined, with a beautiful amount of acidity and just a tremendous amount of minerality pulling the wine into a seemingly endless finish. This was intensity and lightness, power and grace, yet all wonderful transparent at the same time - a beautiful Krug in full flight.
