  Pre-Burgundy BBQ (Roy and Soo Yar's, Jalan Hari Raya): The most modern of the wines on show, but with the benefit of three hours in an open bottle, this was actually very enjoyable. Lots of sweet plums and strawberries on the earth, with an edge of funky earth and bramble, and maybe a bit of chalky mineral - almost like a marriage between Savigny and a Kiwi relative. The palate had a satisfying firmness undergirding its sweet flavours of black cherries and strawberries. Again, it was a bit modern here with a candied edge to its fruit, but there was a fine purity and balance to it. Long finish too, with fine, grippy tannins leading the wine into a tail of bittersweet bramble and herb. Enjoyable young, but this should continue improving with time.

  Still a very intense wine with nsg like fruits. Lotsa dark black cherries, sappy fruit and structured tannins.

  Dinner with the Burroughs (Giant Garoupa Restaurant): Fourth bottle, very consistent showing - this remains a very yummy wine in its youth. As usual, the nose started out sweet and fruity, almost new world-like, with ripe blackberries and strawberry aromas ringed with just slightly more Burgundian notes of funky earth and mineral. The palate was very young, full of primary dark fruited notes wed to some red strawberry inflections. It had Lovely depth and presence. Sweet, ripe, very 2009, but also well-balanced by fresh acidity and underlined by a very nice stream of earthy, minerality and a little floral waft. A good wine with nice underlying material, but it needs time yet. Still though, it was a yummy accompanaiment to some well-cooked Chinese dishes.

  Nougat, strawberry and raspberry perfume. Elegant, smooth and balanced fruit and tannins. Cherries and raspberries and lovely finish.
