  Bright pale golden in colour and with classic citrus, white flowers, grilled nuts and oak spice, all completely tainted by moderate TCA. Such a shame, as the underlying wine is a tightly coiled and mineral PM. Not a hint of POX.

  I know from friends that this wine is variable WRT Premox, unusually so for this normally reliable producer. No such issue with this bottle. Pale in colour and really tight on opening, with lemon and lime pith, hazelnuts and cinnamon oak. With some air, white flowers and white stone fruits but a bit shy if anything. Glorious palate, subtle, restrained, classic PM with more white stone fruit and a long finish of citrus and nutty oak. Wonderful energy and an almost riesling-like tension. This bottle needs 5 plus years. If only they were all like this!

  Watching England vs Belgium. A bit better than the last bottle we had - this was a decent, if rather unusually hefty 2007 Puligny 1er Cru. The nose still bore some signs of youth, with a remnant of vanillin oak aromas alongside rich wafts of ripe yellow fruit, honey and just a bit white flowers at the edges. Rather ripe smelling for a 2007, which threw me off when blind tasting. Similar on the palate too. Big, heavyweight, with plenty of ripe yellow fruit with a layer of sweet cream and a subtle nuttiness towards the finish, all wrapped in an oily texture, slightly glyceric mouthful. It was only the real blast of bright citrus acidity that really pulled one back to the 2007 vintage, otherwise this could well have been a fatter year, like 2006 or 2009. Decently good, and I think it will improve with time, but this certainly was not the subtlest or most polished of Puligny.

  Dinner at Hwa Seafood (Hwa Seafood, Tagore Lane): A pleasant wine, but this was atypical both for a 2007 and for a Puligny Perrières, perhaps because of a little hint of oxidation that it suffered. It had a very advance, extremely rich nose for such a young wine, and from a shy vintage like 2007 too - sweet oak, ripe yellow fruit in the form of some peach and nectarine aromas, strangely developed smells of earth and mushrooms. Not unattractive, but it smelt a lot older than it should. The palate was marked by bright juicy acidity from the attack on, but that was probably the only sign of the 2007 vintage on the wine. Like the nose, this too showed very rich, and very developed, with ripe yellow fruit flavours chased by more sweet peach, and then even pineapple notes, all laid over a creamy, buttery stream that ran through the midpalate and into the finish, where little honeyed tones were met by a little kiss of spice and mineral. This was pretty enjoyable really, but atypically big, burly and forward, especially for a normally minerally vineyard in a vintage that is all about cut, precision and freshness in its whites. Most of us guessed Chassagne, and from much warmer vintages in the late 90s. In fact, but for the acidity on it, this could almost pass off as a good new world Chardonnay. This particular bottle was just a touch oxidative, and that could be the cause. I would hasten to pop one or two bottles to gauge their state if I was sitting on a case of this though.
