  Bourgogne and Village Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Surprisingly strong for a village at this age, this was really enjoyable. On the night, it gave as much pleasure as the much more highly rated and expensive 2007 Arnaud-Ente Meursault Petit Charrons on the same flight. There was a lot going on on the nose here - some umami tones of boiled chicken soup and white meat, earth and mineral, then layers of honey and nectar, dried flowers, even cream and caramel, all drizzled over a core of dried plums and kumquat aromas. A beautifully multifaceted mature Burgundy nose. It had a lovely palate too - lots of oily weight on its, with notes of honey and dried fig peel, kumquats and other yellow fruit, all tumbling out of the glass along with with a savoury sweetness that reminded me of Cantonese pear soup. It was perfectly integrated and put together, seamlessly flowing into a lovely creamy finish. There was sill more than enough acidity to keep it alive and balanced, but it there was a criticism, it may be that the wine seemed a little on the fat side when it warmed up. Served properly chilled to just below room temperature though, and it was delicious.
