Montrachet and Amoureuses dinner (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Very yummy. Given the softer 2006 vintage, this actually drank better when served just a touch more chilled then I normally would for a Grand Cru. This had a lovely nose, with sweet wafts of ripe red apples shading into peach, a drift of white florals, and then typical notes of cream and chalky mineral. Very pretty. The palate was delicious at this point, if maybe just lacking a touch of the cut and definition I would expect from a top Chevalier. It unfolded across the mouth with lovely soft layers of white fruit - apples and ripe pears, maybe a sweeter hint of melon, and then just the lightest coating of cream, flowers and a tiny little tail of minerality lingering in a long finish. Not sure this is one for the future, but it was delicious and drinking very well now.

Delicious! Notes of butterscotch and creme brulee with clean finish. My first New Year's resolution for 2013 will be to buy more of this wine.

Wine dinner at L'Etranger:
Real Burgundy and worked very well with the Tuna and Foie Gras shavings. Bit pricey though.

La Paulee de San Francisco - The Verticals (RN74 - San Francisco CA): Vertical tasting, brief note. Very good fruit and spice with good power. Slightly tropical and hints of new oak still stand slightly apart.
