  Sasi's Birthday Burgs (Restaurant Alba, Keong Saik Road): A real rarity - one of the few 1971 Burgs I have tried, and I certainly did not even know Lamarche made a Clos Vougeot. This was pretty good and wore its age well. Lovely, complex nose showed expressive scents of raspberries, haw flakes, wood spice, some flowers and a burnt sugar accent, along with some savoury roasted white meats and a little saline undercurrant. This was really quite something. Palate was rather simpler, but still very pleasant. There was lovely acidity, again flavours of haw flakes and dried raspberries at the fore, some lovely piercing purity in the dried red fruit expression I thought, and then some ferrous mineral as the wine entered into a saline, almost salty finish, with earthy wood spice notes pulling the wine out to some length.
