  May 14, 2012 - Lunch with Nicholas Pegna of Berry Brother & Rudd (Moluccas Room, Marina Bay Sands): A nice wine, with a very noticeable Suduiraut stamp on it, from its orange peel amd lemon rind accents on the nose, along with a bit of honey and apricots and slightly chalky scents, to a nice, fresh palate, with apricots, sweet lemons and even a touch of jackruit, shaded with a lick of minerality at the finish. I really liked the balance on this wine. There was a nice caramelly weight on the creamy attack and a nice touch of honeyed depth on the midpalate, yet without a single hint of sluggish heaviness. Unlke many youngish Sauternes, I could acually imagine myself drinking quite a few glasses of this. Good stuff. While I like my Sauternes with a good bit of age on them, this is actually quite approachable now, especially when paired with the right food. On the day, I thought it went particular well with a pandan pancake topped with jackfruit and a touch of sweet coconut sauce.
