Stewed rose petals , strawberry skins, raspberries and blush of luscious black berries lightly poached in an oily primrose extract like water bath. Mouthfilling and sumptuous Rose champagne

Dinner at Yan (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): A lot more advanced than it should be, but this was actually really yummy. In the glass, it had already taken on a deep, orangey amber colour of a much older Rosé, and this was reflected in the nose too, where slightly oxidative hints of browned apples mingled with matured aromas of dried strawberries, cherry liquer and wafts of treacle and molasses. It all came together really nicely to make a gorgeous bouquet though. The palate was really delicious too. Rich and full, with a slight sweetness indicative of some dosage, it unfolded in beautifully integrated flavours of molasses, malt and marasca cherries, all still lightly wrapped in a fresh, fine mousse and lively acidity. The freshness was perhaps the only thing that showed the wine's relative youthfulness actually. Otherwise, this drank like something from the late 1970s or early 1980s, with hints of rancio coming out at points. Hurtling downhill fast, but on the night, this was very enjoyable indeed.

Decent rose. Lacked depth but had a nice feel in the mouth. (85)
