  August 31, 2021 - Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Boudots Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Stunningly youthful for a wine well into its second decade in the bottle, this was a quite a lovely drop. There was a bit of sulphur on the nose at first, but that blew off to reveal what to me was a surprising darker-fruited character for a 2007, with black cherries, plums and blackberries patted down with notes of earth, spice and meat. A different tone from either the trio of Men-Camuzet Boudots we had alongside, or indeed from the 2016 Gerard Mugneret. I was actually quite surprised by the vintage when this was unblinded. Likewise, the palate was quite rich for 2007 too, with a creamily textured depth of dark cherries and berries, some plums, all wearing a little lace of spice. Where the vintage did come out though was in the juicy acidity and nice purity of it all, with a lovely clarity that shone though the fruit. It did take on a higher-tone feel with more time and air as well. All in all, a really youthful and quite lovely wine, with fine tannins still given a firm little grip, and plenty of really juicy acidity leading the wine into a clear, pure mineral finish, with just a tiny hint of spice closing things out. Lovely stuff - drinking deliciously now, if just missing a touch of complexity. Such is the freshness, balance and structure though, that I could see it aging effortlessly well into the its next decade and beyond.

  May 11, 2013 - Dark cherries and leathery nose; soft and forward plummy fruit balances the backbone of tannin nicely

  June 2, 2011 - 2011 Casual Session - 7, When casual gone insane (Extra Space Boon Keng): Alcohol :: 13.5%
  Bright purplish red. Wonderful, high tone aromas of rose petal scents intermixed with sweet and sour red cherry fruits, mineral and tea leave along with just a little touch of alcohol. It was pretty straight forward on the palate at first, but it slowly open up in the glass and showed better complexity with perfume rose petal scents and consider very good ripeness, with bright and concentrated red and blue Pinot fruits that is pure and quite muscular. Still quite tannic with medium length, juicy finish with traces of alcohol spiciness at the end. Very pretty for a 2007. Buy - Maybe - Yes.

  April 1, 2011 - really wonderful nose. Maybe a little simple on the palate but no complaints.
