  May 13, 2015 - Kelvin's Baby Shower (Burlamacco, Amoy Street, Singapore): Pretty good. The second of two white Puligny 1er Crus, this had an bigger, broader nose than on the 1998 Montille Caillerets, with a deeply saline, seashelly character alongside wafts of white fruit and a faintly sweet hint of white flowers and nectar when first poured. As the wine warmed up in the glass, the bouquet really opened up, with sweeter tones of stone fruit, smoke and spice and a really deep seam of chalky mineral coming to the fore. That same chalky, seashelly character was there on the palate as well, especially on the attack before the wine fanned out across the midpalate with really nice sweet white fruit and floral accents. Like the Montille, this was drinking well now – it was soft and round, yet nicely balanced and focused throughout. Decent finish too, closing out with a nice long trail of smoky, chalky, minerally tones. It did not quite have the quality of the Montille, but this was very nice.
