  • Popped and poured. On the nose it was wonderful, floral, red fruit and sous bois notes, layered and complex. Despite the vintage, never heavy, elegant and balanced. However it felt a bit young and primary. This was a pristine bottle.

  • Drank my last bottle. One hour decant. Had to add to my prior comment. This one lacked that "wow" factor. Awesome nose, yet didn't blow me away like earlier bottle.

  • Dinner at Beng Wan (Beng Wan Terrace): Really solid. I loved the nose on this. Violets, peppery spice, a hint of meatiness, and then lovely notes of black cherries and plums, all patted down with a little bit of earthiness. Lovely, heady stuff. The palate was really nice. Surprisingly ready for a 2005, with fine-boned tannins softened a good bit of acidity, all making for a really nice sense of structure behind a deceptively easygoing mouthful of dark cherries and berries, violets and spice. Make no mistake though, this was a true Grand Cru. Behind its easy demeanour, there was real power, depth and richness to it, with a solid intensity and beautifully length to boot. An archetypal Chambertin. Powerful, muscular, yet so effortlessly so that you barely noticed it’s authority. This was a wine that spoke in measured tones rather than shouting its quality. What a finish too - long, full, lingering. A very, very good wine. Drinking well and surprisingly light on its feet for a 2005. This has a long, long future ahead of it yet though.

  • Wow! This needs a recent note to correct those early reviews. This is delicious! Light on the tongue, silken; nose strikes you immediately. Lovely stuff. If you can get your handle on a bottle, buy it!
