  Lunch at Nicolas with Alex H (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Not bad. This had a very perfumed nose with honey and beeswax, floral orange blossoms, orange peel and kumquats, with quite a bit of dried fruit sweetness undergirding it all. There was a bit of earthy funk hinting at its age beyond that, but overall a nice bouquet. The palate had a very full attack, with beeswax and a swirl of honeyed tones drizzled over kumquats and orange peel, and then a fresher grapefruit and citrus acidity lift. It felt slightly thinner last midpalate and beyond, where it faded into a long linger of mineral and spice linger at finish, but otherwise, it was quite pleasing. Like many Alsace Pinot Gris of this ilk, it came across sweet at first, but ended up really dry, which also meant that it did better with food than without. Altogether a pretty pleasant wine. Time to drink-up though, this faded in and out of the glass over time, and did not hold-up all that well.

  Kids' play-date at Alex and Fiona's (Alex and Fiona's in AMK): A nicely matured Alsace Pinot Gris. Perhaps just a touch too old, but full of charm. The nose was probably the best part of the wine, with subtle honeyed notes alongside bursts of lemons, peaches and sweet orange blossoms, all ringed with just a hint of bittersweet almond scents. The palate was just a touch thinned out, with a rather skinny expression of apples, oranges and lemons riding on a bed of spice, mineral and citrus notes. The acid was starting to dominate the midpalate, and the finish trailed aways rather too quickly with a lift honeyed kiss, but this still came together in a really charming way, and with enough body and freshness to go nicely with a creamy cheese still. Enjoyable.
