Somehere in the distant past, after an indulgent holiday with the body and mind fully recharged, a dome drink beckons me near a the airport terminal.

Thoughts of ageing the wine in the midst of the lush and dark storeroom cellar of sun-drenched HDB storeroom and finally presenting it to my future wife - seems priceless for the future...

04 Sep 2011 - after the birth of Matthias, the vintage Dome of 10+ years was remembered and presented - it was drunk without the passion and majestic moments as i had imagined years back...

This set the impetus of the cells in the main conrol center racing.... its time to capture all my memories and experiences crafted up there in the form of a blog so that it can be part of the distant memories even though some things can never be much appreciated or so as one may think...

Virgin Post - the vintage dome



Vintage Dome versus Young Dome

Matured discolouration of the label is achieved after the years spent in its stunning and informal environment. The rough gauge of its cellar stay 5+ years in Yishun and 5+ years in Ponggol.

The tasting presented the following - Vintage wins as it has increased body and sweetness. More earthy tone of freshness fills the mouth and linger through on the smooth finish. Amazing bitter sweet aromas of cinammon, saffron and the faintest hint of floral honey. Do not drink neat as it is too overpowering, serve with hot mineral-rich water instead.

Some say that rules are for breaking and wines for sharing with generous servings of laughter. Any takers for sampling?
