Lunch at Spring Court (Spring Court, Singapore): Not a bad wine - just rather spoofy and not very Burgundian. It had a typical Dominique Laurent "200% new oak" nose, full of toasty wood, and wood spices floating around very ripe dark cherries and berry aromas. The palate had a nice balance to it, with juicy acidity tracing its way through pure flavours of red and blue fruit. However, the wine was always haunted by the woody oak, which dominated it from attack to finish. Really not quite my style. One wonders how this will develop after another 10 years. But given that plenty of time has already passed since bottling, I am not sanguine that the wine will ever shed the over-oaked feel.

Vino maturo, già terziarizzato, morbido, setoso e poco vibrante. La bottiglia era perfetta, ma non conosco il produttore, quindi non so dire se è lo stile o l' annata. Dopo un sorso sei già stufo. Sicuramente era meglio qualche anno fa. Non vale quello che costa

Bryan's Chambolle & Morey GC Dinner (The Ledbury, London): Darker, fuller, richer. Lush, plush, this is ripe new world compared to the Burgundy that's come before it. Still a good thwack of oak.Plush and deep. Would be interesting to come back in a decade and see what's happened. At any rate, not what i look for in a Burgundy. **(*1/2?)
