  Pall Mall 67 Singapore - Marguet is austere, that fact is established. Zero dosage. No fun if you are not well into researching Champagne and its infinite variations. This is a food companion, not aperitif.Best to think of this as an alternative to a still white wine. Lower alcohol and more lift. You can sense the underlying fruit is ripe and quality. It fills the midpalate. Whether terroir or winemaking this does not scream Chardonnay to me. I would pick this as PN.

  After seeing Charlie's note, I decided to open a bottle last night. Charlie has an experienced palate so I was curious to see what the wine has been doing since I opened one 4 years ago. Upon opening, it was wild. Yogurt and melted butter, the Marguet herb (from the oak?), citrus and mineral. After an hour, it really settled down and refined the wild side, with a leaner, cleaner profile, with the same light herb shading, plus the citrus. I liked the two expressions, and have enough left for a glass tomorrow to do a final check and wrap up the note....retaste on Day 2, I can see where Charlie's perceptions may be coming from. There is not a lot of flesh here, as this is squarely middle weight. Yet, I don't find it austere. Lemon peel, tart green apple, mineral and what I want to call either mushroom or loam, maybe a combo of both. And from the wood, a mix of light caramel and clove. Overall, perhaps like with Charlie, some people are not gonna like this wine, as the mix of tart, mineral and the spice may not appeal but I find it fine to drink.

  Man, I want to like this wine, as my buddy FMIII likes it. I just cannot get it down, even after the second day. It’s harsh, and austere. I could maybe say it’s fragile, as many Margie’s from this time have been all over the place.

  This was a tasty bottle, and drinking so much better than a couple of years ago. Even better on day 2. If representative, this has arrived at the "drink and hold" phase for my preferences.

  Fried chicken night in pine plains. Served after ultramarine keefer 17. This wine is firing.
