Dinner at JB Ah Meng (JB Ah Meng, Geylang, Singapore): A little on the fat side for a 2007 - surprising for a Dancer wine - but otherwise pretty good. The nose had a touch of new world Chardonnay to it, with ripe yellow fruit with an edge of tropical sweetness to it, and plenty of creamy, buttery accents, and then just a hit of spice and new oak running behind. The buttery, oily-textures palate had the same ripe, sunny tone to it, with stone fruit at the fore, and more or those tropical notes running into a nicely long and mineral finish. Not the most complex, but nicely delicious, and thankfully pulled back with a decent bit of 2007 freshness and tension which gave it some definition. Overall, not bad and drinking pretty nicely, but not in a style I would associate with a Dancer in 2007 of all vintages.

Remarkably fresh. A nose of green melon, white peach, walnut and spearmint. Rich, intense, layered and long. Brilliant!

Rich and powerful orchard fruit, not quite as bright or vibrant as my previous bottle from last year.

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Tasting #2 (The Tasty Center) (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Very good density, ripe fruit is still nicely fresh enough, but the structural elegance, brightness and energy are the star here. At its peak now.

Chassagne - Center (Chicago, IL): Forward, rich, sweet and mineral-laden fruit. Nicely fresh and bright. In a peak spot right now.
