American Club, Hong Kong. Very primary, all Cab Blend exhuberent fruit. Neither overly modern nor cloying. Walks the line between classic and ripe vintage. I would be curious to compare with the 16. This has the stuffing to age. Strikes me as too young now but should settle in nice drinking window 5 years hence.

2013 J. Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots

Epure, Hong Kong. Very typical of the 2013 vintage with red fruit profile, elevated acidity and great florality. This opens very tannic in a profile not too dissimilar from a Nebbiolo. Balance improves markedly with airing and there is good 1er Cru level of flavour complexity. It is a good drink though it lacks a bit of oomph, truly fluorescent or zingy fruit to make it into my 2013 pantheon e.g. Bize Latricieres or the entire Fourrier line-up. This is at or close to peak but will last 5+ years without problem.

1994 Robert Ampeau & Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières

Singapore, brought to a friend s house and procured from the cellar of a most discerning other friend. Colour is dark straw. Not dark enough that one would suspect Premox. Nose is rather reassuring. It displays floral notes and a candied apricot touch that would not be out of place in a Sauternes. The palate has little fruit left (if it ever had it) and rather provides a tactile sensation of weight and minerals. Quite taut. It does not have the oily and buttery sensation one associates with older regimes of white burgs wine-making. A thing of curiosity rather than sheer hedonistic pleasure. I am quite pleased a 30-year old white burg proved beyond drinkable.
