Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore, La Paulee (Osvaldo Ristorante Italiano, Maxwell Chambers): Very nice, but not quite as impressive as either the 1999 or 2002. This was rather forward and great for drinking now though. Lovely nose, very Chambolle. Quite a rush of mushrooms, earth and flowers, along with some meat and quite a bit of toastiness. Palate was every bit a expressive, with bright 2001 acidity running through rich, sappy red fruits and wilted flowers into a round juicy finish with decent length and a touch of dried cherry fruit. Not the most complex of wines, but lots of sexy charm here.

Lovely expressive nose of violets, some soil compost, lots of indian flowers and indian spices with a backbone of coffee oak running through. A cross breed of modernistic denser style on the palate with lots of sappy cherries and grippy acidity. Still youthful and felt a bit rebellious with the direction it was taking.

La Paulee Luncheon; 11/19/2009-11/23/2009 (Osvaldos): Lovely sweet flowers, sweet strawberries and cherries. Quite dense fruits and a tad modern. Much more streamlined than previously tasted.
