  Bottle off the wine list over lunch at Huat Kee. Re-tasted at home in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, gold colour. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of briney salt minerality, pineapple, citrus lemon, bruised apple, slight oxidative. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of salty brine minerals, pungent salted fish, pineapple, citrus lemon, bruised apple, sour plum. Honey mixed with sour green apple with more air. Longish finish.
  Good quality. Very Chablis, very salty briney with aged elements. Down and dirty as opposed to some cleaner precise focused styles. Oxidative notes rearing up is a cause for concern though. Better to drink up now already.

  Ever so slightly oxidised which seemed to make it a more interesting wine than previous bottles. Still opportunity for it to improve.

  Dinner with Monthly Group at Level 2 (Level 2, The American Club, Singapore): This was very nice, if rather too young. It had a lovely nose, with lemons and green apple aromas tossed with white flowers and underscored by a nice amount chalky mineral. I liked the cut and precision on the palate - there was a very chiseled feel to it, with laser-like acidity racing through citrussy lemony flavours and into a long, minerally finish. Still very primary and just rather too aggressive in its high-toned acidity at this point of time. However, this is a very nice wine that will only get better with time. Try again in 2015.

  Inaugural Chablis (2008 and 2009) from Patrick Piuze (Arlequin Wines, San Francisco): Toasty. The first wine to really show its wood. Riper and more viscous than the previous '08s, but this feels dilute and somewhat hollow in the mid-palate. It picks up in the finish, but this neither well integrated nor that good at this point.
