  Corton-Charlemagne & Corton Dinner (Imperial Treasure Shanghai, Ngee Ann City, Singapore): This is one of those wines that is still noticeably a 2004. It is not bad if you can get past the greenness, but not a top Corton by any stretch of the imagination. The green meanies were there in good strength on the nose, with shade of mint and ginseng and a little earthy twang amidst sweeter scents of red cherries with some flowery blushes on the side. Pretty nice actually, if you can live with the green. After that, the palate came across really clean and pure. There was some underlying Corton structure, but it was less muscular than I would have expected, with fine, mouthcoating tannins undergirding lifted notes of red cherries lined with some bramble and dried earth on the midpalate. At the finish, a flush of spice and herb then trailed away into the distance. I thought this was good but not great – it was silky and light, but lacked a bit of Grand Cru presence. Otherwise, an enjoyable enough wine, and one that should be quite delicious to drink given a few more years in the bottle.

  slight bricking to the reddish color, lovely nose of sweet caramel and cherries, palate is high acid with some velvety tannin, on the palate flavors of cherries and lemon zest (the acid), just a touch of spice and very little secondary development, absolutely no green meanies which surprised me, very good wine and should hold up / improve for at least another decade, high acid wine for sure

  Wild strawberries and firecrackers, nice minerality and good length. This is very good, but maybe too nice (?). I want to be more challenged. Any room for evolution - hard to see?
