Mostly white Burgundies: Presented itself remarkably similarly to the 03 Boillot Chevy that I had a few days ago. Almost golden in colour, it had a lovely perfumed nose with lots of weight to the wine that made me think a grand cru. At a stage where the honey is beginning to set in, not my preferred style or stage of development for white Burgundy but impressive nonetheless.

Dinner at Tonny (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Some quality, but this was in a rather awkward stage. It was really oaky on the nose - with lots of vanilla and browned butter notes swirling alongside rather ripe yellow fruit and melon notes. The oak abated a bit with time, and it got quite attractivebut there was always a clear influence on the palate. Unfortunately, the palate always felt a bit too oaked, with a vanilla and butter overtone to its otherwise ripe and oily yellow fruited flavours. It felt a bit flabby at first, before the shape and acidity of the 2008 vintage emerged nicely on the backpalate. There is quality here, but it needs time to shed the baby fat and new oak influence. Next bottle probably in 4-5 years.

Mein erster Chassagne-Montrachet - und dann direkt ein 1er Cru. Hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Gelbe Früchte, gut eingebundene Säure. Langer Abgang.

Nose has maturing apple fruit and caramel. Very tasty, including butterscotch and properly refreshing acid.
