Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - Odd Bottle Night (Ming Kee, Macpherson Road): I much preferred the last bottle of this wine I had. Still a decent Rosé Brut, but this did seem a little tired and unconvincing from Laurent-Perrier. Nose was pleasant enough, if a bit on the sweet and fruity side. Quite a bit of funky earth notes. a bit of umami and some toastiness, but all this was riding on little waves of sweet cherry and rose petal scents, along with whiffs of fresh cut flowers. Palate was quite pretty, as the nose suggested, but just a little insubstantial. Nice balance, with a light bright touch, it showed more cherries and strawberries on the attack, before moving into a drier mid-palate. It just lacked a punch beyond that though, finishing rather shortish and truncated with a little burst of mineral. Storage issue? Or was the last bottle I had just punching above its weight-class?
