  October 10, 2020 - Excellent wine still young.
  Medium garnet. Nose is Intense, complex and aged but still youthful, with forest bush notes, red berries, tobacco, dried meat.
  Medium body, good acidity, soft tannins,still very primary with sweet ripe red berries and a long complex finish.
  Really excellent and with few more years left in the tank.
  My 3rd bottle of the same 6btl case and they all have been consistent.

  April 12, 2020 - Slightly bricked and thinning a bit, but still very good. Nice dirty nose. Still some tart fruit and earth with a soft even presentation. Great with an Easter rack of lamb.

  March 15, 2014 - Impromptu Afternoon at Mood Indigo (Mood Indigo, Jalan Kilang Barat, Singapore): This was lovely - yet another 1997 that is showing really well. It had such a beautiful nose, sweetly fragrant, with earth and meat, red cherries and stewed raspberries, herbs and a lovely floral perfume. The palate was not quite as strong as nose, but was still delicious and probably drinking at peak. There were soft, mellow flavours of dried cherries and berries on the attack, sowing rather higher-toned and less sweet than nose suggested, and then a little meaty midpalate and a nice spicy, brambly twang at the finish. Fine tannins provided a little chew, and bright acidity kept the proceedings lively. It was only a slightly drying character right at the very finish that marred the wine somewhat, but this was otherwise really enjoyable. A nice little Mazis-Chambertin indeed.

  September 14, 2013 - lively colour with plenty of life and brightness. Nose started with soft fruit then underbrush and mineral notes emerged. Good balance and ripe fuit on palate but lacked the lift on the finish of the last bottle. V good for a 97 though.
