  big rich nose of yellow fruit and honey. Rich honeyed peach and fleshy yellow fruit, orange blossoms, and tantalising acidity on the finish.

  Bad to the Beaune (Tung Lok Signatures, Central): This should have been the best of the three Meursaults that we had by quite a distance, but it was my least favourite. Not that it was bad, it was pretty decent as far as generic Meursaults go, but it was just a bit too big and blowsy for a Perrières, which should never be just a generic Meursault. The nose was rather sweet and ripe, with sweet lemon curd, spiced apple and stone fruit scents shading into tropical, almost pineapple-like hints. This was a big, fruity nose, and rounded off as it was by layer of sweet oak, anything but subtle. The palate carried on in the same vein. Rich, buttery, with tons of depth to its big fruit flavours of sweet lemons, apples and musky peach, with tons of toasty oak at the long finish. This had lots of power and pretty decent balance to back it up, but it is not my favourite style of Chardonnay. It may calm down and loose a bit of its overt fleshy fruitiness with time, but at the moment, just a bit too much for me to be a great wine.

  Light fresh wafers, rich orange blossoms. V robust and a lil fat. Has quite a big dose of flesh and alc. Made big!. Oily too. A Disgustingly rich wine. An extreme expression of this village showcasing its richness.
