Consistent notes. Good bottle of Monty. Medium yellow color. Good richness and complexity. Just hints of oxidation but what you would expect from a 20 year old White Burg. Lemon, pears, orchard fruits, tangy acidity. I see no further upside in this and in fact this was just at the beginning of its slow downward trajectory but still very enjoyable. Drink now.

RSV and Richebourg Dinner + Montrachet and La Tache (Holland Park, Singapore): So lovely. This had such an archetypal Montrachet nose, with layers of sweet cream, plump white fruit, ripe melons, pinpricks of spice, and a halo of white flowers, all this with a kiss of oak still in there. Amazing. The palate was not quite as astounding as the nose, but there was still plenty of Montrachet magic to go around. Not the most detailed or defined, but this was power and intensity - with mouthfilling flavours of white fruit and flowers and mineral and cream - wed to supreme elegance, and balanced to a perfect pitch. The midpalate was pierced with a lovely bit of kumquat acidity that just pulled the wine into a tremendsouly long finish of preserved limes, mineral and spice. Superb stuff, and drinking wonderfully now.

Drank from Mag. This wine was so harmonious, It had everything in the right place working together to form a perfectly rounded experience. peaches/stone fruit character
Just as I was sinking into this, here comes the Coche flight. No big deal....wait....what....we need to use this glass for the Coche?? Ugh. We're stuck with the terrible choice of chugging or dumping. I pick the 2nd worst option and chug it down
Came back to it 3 hours later and it was still magnificent. My guess is magnum form is helping, and it won’t get better than this, so might as well drink them if you have them. Thx Alan

Orange tinted color. Slightly shut aromatics. Also advanced palate. Not good showing.
