Thursday evening, in Singapore 🇸🇬 again, and pairing it with a sea bass. Medium golden Color. Roasted pineapple, cream, white pepper, wet stones, ginger bread, light touch of green capsicum. Med acidity, Med body, Med alcohol, Med flavor intensity, Med+ finish. Nice acidity, quite buttery mouth, vegetable notes, salinity, citrus, pineapple, a decent finish. Like it !

I don't like this style of wine - austere and very dry - just lacks charm and pleasure. My score reflects the fact that I can understand that it is very well made wine, with a depth of flavour that justifies a score above 90. My personal score would be more like 89. An enticingly rich nose of butterscotch and ripe peach is reflected on the palate - but suppressed by the austere overly dry style. The high acidity does nothing to provide pleasure, though will undoubtedly mean the wine will endure for a long time. The finish is persistent and there is complexity. Drink now and over the next 10 years.

Lemon butterscotch, white flowers, wet white stones (or is that cognitive bias?). Soft and plush with a solid foundation.

No formal notes but very good. Impeccable balance.
