  October 24, 2020 - All caramel and acidity, touch of lemon. Really not nice. Too old for me.

  April 30, 2014 - 1998 Burgundy Grand Cru Dinner (Cheng Hu Tien, Keong Saik Road, Singapore): Very nice indeed – like chalk and cheese compared with the rich, powerfully 1998 assertive Leflaive Pucelles that was served alongside, but every bit as enjoyable. This wine had a very pretty nose - lots of chalky notes, a little layer of butter and cream, then sweet white flowers and red apples. Really attractive. The palate had a very lively feel, with a lovely sense of precision and focus that was missing from the Pucelles. There was an almost laser-like definition to it, with a beam of freshness and a good spine of minerality running through its green apple and lime flavours. Not quite as deep and generous as the previous wine, but still quite nicely satisfying. Decent finish too, curling away with a little steely tail. A nice wine, drinking pretty well now, but it also has the balance to age more over the next few years if it is free of premox.
