92 Points

Saturday, August 27, 2016 - Beef at Kel's (Kelvin and Joyce's Place, Bishan): Enjoyable, but this has its best years ahead of it, probably a good 8-10 years or more into the future. Unlike the light, lithe 2007, which felt en pointe now, this came across richer, thicker, less developed, with honey, ripe apple and lanolin notes on the nose wed to similar flavours on the creamy palate. What I loved though was the bright, juicy acidity and the wonderfully minerally underpinning that marked this as a Huet Le Haut Lieu. Great finish too, dry, chalky, almost flinty mineral lancing trough the demi-sec honeyed tones. Lovely stuff, but there was still such a tight, unyielding core to the wine - this will last a long, long time.
