Thursday, December 17, 2020 - Alex and William's Birthday Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Really lovely - this was the pick of the bunch of very nice white Burgundies we had. It had a very nice nose indeed, with golden drops of honey and rich cream drizzled over a core of ripe yellow fruit, these infused with a touch to earthy mineral, spice, and then just that hint of floral aromas. A rich, buttery nose, but with a good amount of fragrant lift to it that kept it interesting. The palate was very nice too. Sunny and ripe, yet with a nice reservoir of citrusy kumquat acidity, along with a solid spine of dry extract and minerality, all giving a good sense of shape and definition to the wines otherwise round, generous flavours of butter, cream and ripe yellow fruit. These leading into a round, warmly spiced finish. A very full, powerful wine. Surprisingly though, even with its greater depth and weight, this almost seemed just that little more defined and well-cut than the 2001 that preceded it, which made it the better drink overall. Lovely stuff, drinking beautifully now.
