  Bright red. Caramelly red fruit on the nose, lovely ripe cherries, like red fruit cordial, silky, rich, balanced, nice acidity. Some minerality-earth on finish, lovely wine and glorious fruit. Yes there is some 2004 green / pyrazine in the background, which seemed to grow abit, but better with food and never dominated. In the context of 2004 this is a lovely wine and ageing well.
  
  Tasted again in Nov 2019 - palish colour, nose a bit closed but opens to be sour cherry and creamy after an hour. Simply fabulous macerated cherry almost sweet fruit centre, delicious. Lovely orangey acidity and something slightly minty. It's not a big wine, medium to lightish, but very elegant and with only a hint of green clove 2004 on the finish. All in all a lovely bottle, 93.

  Simple Series Dinner 2 (Huat Kee): En magnum. Tasted about 12 hours after first popped. More austere and fresher than the Clos de Beze but similarly greenies appeared on the palate more than nose. Silky texture and great presence. This wine is built like a monument with an impressive structure. Definitely needs more time to show its stuff. I very much like this for the grace and the sheer dry extract in reserve (in the context of the vintage).

  Nicolas potel: roche de bellene; 1/24/2011-1/26/2011 (Salt @ ion orchard): Green weeds and herbaceousness with fresh gingerly roots. Typical of the vintage but still nice red fruits.

  From Magnum. Fresh perfume, lifted nose that display angelica root, dried herb, touch of wild factor with underlying minerality, not really expressive now. The palate is not as rich, concentrated as the 09, but very classic burgundy with good transparency. Lively and good freshness with medium weight and depth, this is not really singing today as the finished is slightly short with touch of herbs and austerity. Buy - No.

  Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore - Chapitre des Coteaux et Climats (Nicolas Potel / Roche de Bellene) (Salt Bar and Grill by Lucas Mangan, Ion Orchard): From magnum. No mistaking this for anything but a 2004 with its share of green-meanies, but it was a very good wine nonetheless. Nose started out with herby ginseng and angelica root at the fore, but concentrate and one gets really nice red fruit and a little earth beneath that. Quite pretty really, with the herbal notes actually lending to a sense of complexity rather than subtracting from the bouquet's attractivness. The palate showed lovely balance. Nice depth of red fruited cherries was wed to some fresh acidity, making for a very delicious wine. It is so easy to get caught up with the greenness that one forgets the nice fruit and balance 2004 can give. Still very young obviously, but there were nice earth and spice notes layered alongside the fruit as the wine traced its way into a elegantly long finish where just a touch more herb, root and rubber emerged alongside a little strem of minerality. Very nice, and I think it will get better with time assuming the green-meanies do not envelop the better qualities of the wine.
