  Full mouth feel. White fruits and fleshy peach through the mid-palate. Creamy smooth and good length. Superb poise and balance. Very well integrated. Paired superbly with Christmas dinner turkey and ham!

  Brian's 40th (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel): I had quite forgotten having had this before. As with the last bottle, I found this to be a beautifully poised lieu-dit village that showed off all the strengths of the 2002 vintage in Meursault. The nose was a lovely balance of younger white fruit and apple aromas with more developed tones of white chocolate, honey and white peppercorn spice, all underlined with a minerally twang of chalk and gunflint. I really liked it on the palate too – it was at once buttery and full, but also very fresh, with green apple flavours and lemony tones that gave it a more citrus character than the nose suggested. Good finish too, with another streak of chalky mineral. No one would confuse this with a Grand Cru or even a good 1er Cru – it just did not have the depth for that. This was delicious though, with an impeccable balance that made it just lovely to drink. A lovely village drinking nicely now, and I do think it will continue to develop nicely over the next few years as well.

  Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore - Back to Basics 2012 (Absinthe, Bukit Pasoh): I thought this was an excellent village that punched way above its weight. In the blind tasting, it stood toe-to-toe with a very good bottle of Louis Carillon's Puligny 1er Cru Perrières on the same flight without blinking and eyelid. It had a very expressive nose that was a mix of sweet fruit tones, ranging from pomelo to tropical lychee nuances, with more matured aromas of slightly funky earth and flint. It was the tropical note that came out first on the palate, with more lychee flavours - almost Geweurztraminer-like someone said - and then pineapples and bright lemony notes. Delicious stuff, and well-balanced off with lovely bright acidity that lifted the wine towards a fresh finish where more flinty, minerally notes stepped in. This was a great examplar of how good the 2002 vintage for white Burgundies across the board was - everything was in the right place, from the depth of fruit, to the sense of balance and extract. A very nice wine at a lovely place for drinking.
