96 NPU and Tectumque

Dinner at logy in Taipei.

1996 Bruno Paillard Nec Plus Ultra, dégorgée en Janvier 2009 - still pretty lively with good acidity. Definitely some maturity here, but not overripe. Rounded on the palate but still a little edgy. Toasty notes coming out after 30 minutes, and started to show some savory minerality. Very nice and a wonderful treat.

2017 Sine Qua Non Tectumque - 38% Roussanne, 31% Petit Manseng, 18% Chardonnay, Viognier, and Muscat. Decanted for 50 minutes. Very ripe and almost bubblegum-like. Flinty. Lots of vanilla and very buttery. But the palate felt a little short.
