Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore, Potel Tasting. (Harbour Grill, Hilton Hotel, Singapore): Yellow gold colour. It opened with a whiff of smelly socks with an underlying layer of straw and grass. Seemed a little reductive. Citrus notes peeked out after some time, with buttery, vanilla tones. The palate was nice and fresh, but with a clear sense of high alcohol. Almost tottering towards a slight imbalance. Good - big, rather fat, rich and weighty for sure, but a little all over the place at the moment. Nicolas Potel says to wait 10 years for this to come around.

(Potel Nicolas Meursault Vieilles Vignes) A bright nose that mixes forward and clean fruit with toasty brioche and faint nuts. Mouthwatering with quite some savoury extract on the mid-palate. Good acidity but today just a little un-knit - needs a little longer in bottle.

Pale straw, viscous, classic buttery organic nose, soft fruit and some spice, not quite together yet.
