  Dinner at JB Ah Meng (JB Ah Meng, Geylang, Singapore): A touched overworked for my tastes, but this was pretty good. The nose had a toasty oaky twang at the fore, with deep dark fruit and a little lift of wood spice and dried earth running behind. The palate was where this showed its chops. Good depth, lovely balance, and nicely structured, with fine, grippy tannins and fresh acidity framing juicy flavours of dark cherries and sweet berries - this was really quite delicious. Nice finish too, with a backbone of earthy mineral and spice trailing away into the distance. A bit obviously extracted, but this was drinking quite nicely after a couple of hours in the bottles. There was a nice sense of power and quiet intensity to this, along with a nice purity that pointing towards a nice long, aging curve. I would like to try this again in 8-10 years.

  Didn’t love this. Seemed closed, but after hours and decanting, still pretty closed. An off vintage which might be why. Dark colored, medium to full bodied.

  I really liked this Pommard, although rather more Cotes du Nuits than Cotes du Beaune in character, although that is probably saying something about Dugat's rather generous style more than anything else. Spicy, some secondary aromas starting to show, and a nice touch of sous bois with purity, complexity, and balance in abundance. Enjoyable, and should improve over the next 5-7 years. Recommended.

  Stalky, plummy, spicy, blackberry, slightly saline, wild ferment, aniseed. Similar fruit and juicy on the palate before the gloriously beastly tannins smash over everything like a Tsunami. Due respect though, it's still got fruit after this clears. Vinfanticide but a great piece of tannic fun.

  Burgundy "Masterclass" - Day 2 (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia): [From Coravin] The aromas have a medium(+) intensity and show notes of stem/whole-bunch (ash, dried leaves), mineral (dry dusty earth), and a generic floral character (dried flowers). The palate is equally intense but shows black fruit (dried blackberry, baked black plum) and oak (charred wood). Slightly monolithic tannins [medium(+) level] give the wine a very sturdy backbone, but is well balanced with the medium(+) acidity. The finish has a long length. Very enjoyable.
