Medium yellow. It’s on fire with very pronounced citrus, lemon, petrol notes. Much better than the la tillets 2 nights ago and a bolder wine. Excellent acidity and very long finish. Amazing roulot

Dinner at Beng Wan (Beng Wan Terrace): Not bad, but a little too tight and unyielding I thought. The nose started with quite a bit sulphur. When that blew off, there was plenty of reductiveness - so rotten eggs, then flint and chalk, then matchsticks, only after a long while, we got butter and cream, white fruit, and a little florals around the edges. The palate was rather more stirring, with a lot of bright lemony acidity piercing laser-like though a mouthful of white fruit - think green apples and pears - leading into a lovely mineral finish. Still needs time to come together, but this as always was an impressive, very elegant village.

Stone fruit more than citrus on the nose, complemented by minerals and a powdery/floral element. Lovely nose but seems close to maturity. The palate is rich, deep, ripe and shows a good acid bite on the back end. Showing better than the 08 1er crus that I have opened from Roulot.

La Paulée de Los Angeles Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - Santa Monica CA): Small glass. Magnum. Rich and unctuous textures with equally rich and ripe aromas and flavors. Still nicely fresh, this is the best I can ever recall for this wine.

Acker Merrall Bicentennial Gala (Cipriani Wall Street - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. From 3L. Very rich and ripe. Bright start, softer finish. Best to enjoy over the next few years.
