Grande Champagne N.24 (43.6%, Grosperrin for The Auld Alliance Singapore, 2021) Five stars
1924, wow, that's Otto Dix's time, Edward Hopper's, Paul Klee's, Paul Whiteman's, Ma Rainey's, Fauré, Sibelius, Copland and Erik Satie's… It is so totally moving to taste a liquid that's seen those times and breathed the same air… Colour: deep red amber. Nose: this cannot be, this is fresh as a daisy in a morning in June, this has various flowers, wisteria, peonies, lilies, jasmine… This has stunning honeys, nuts, quinces (hurray), more quinces, even more quinces… Wait, this is pure liquid quince jelly, king of fruits and queen of all aromas that are to be found in any aged spirits. Masterful old cognac on the nose. Mouth: ooh… How can this be? Beyond the wee piney, resinous, propolis-like flavours that might be a tad 'too much' (but S., 97 years!) these dried and crystallised fruits are just utterly stunning. Please call the Anti-OldSpiritPorn brigade! Quinces first, they keep leading the pack, then figs, dried longans or rambutans, jujubes, tiny berries, sorb, checkerberries, holly, elderberries… Don't we just love them all? Unsweetened Darjeeling tea taking over after ten minutes, which was to be expected. Finish: not the longest ever. Cocoa powder, ground coffee, dry tobacco… Some sweeter, fresher berries in the aftertaste. Elderberries and friends. Comments: as they say in brochures and now on Instagram, this is fascinating. You would not judge it only 'technically' (f**k that) the wow effect being what's really important here.  Mind you, 97 years. Ninety-seven, quatre-vingt-dix-sept, siebenundneunzig, novantasette, noventa y siete, Kyû-jû-shich, whatever.
