Impromptu casual dinner with few drinking buddies at Giant Garoupa restaurant, Serangoon Road. Corkage is free, but do BYO stemware (hint). As per the name of the restaurant, dishes from any part of the Giant Garoupa can be found here, I love the HK style steamed Giant Garoupa Lips, a must try dish here (a tad expensive though).
The 1997 Diel was served and my 2nd tried, drinking very well and perfect for appetizer, but no surprised, very good for the price though.
I believed this is not really a good example of what Paleo capable of, hope to try for other vintages.
1997 Schlossgut Diel Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Spätlese
Germany, Nahe
Alcohol :: 7.5%
Consistent note to my previous bottle. Drinking very well and perfect for appetizer, but no surprised. Buy - No.

2002 Domaine Daniel Rion et Fils Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Seductive perfume nose of sweet black and red berry, floral, alluring spices with earth, though this is lack a little bit of complexity and scale, but the fragrance soar from the glass is really something. Smooth entry, this medium bodied wine offer medium level of complexity and depth, lots of sappiness on the palate that carry through to the firm persistent, tannic long finish, but the wine faded rather quickly hence the disappointment, especially for a strong vintage like 2002. Buy - No.
