  July 26, 2019 - Fully mature and probably past prime but not oxidized. Dark gold color.
  Lots of smoke and honey and minerals, lowish acid, not a ton of fruit left, but thankfully none of the cidery/sherry notes. I liked it, but you have to like really old white burg to like this. Drink up.

  January 31, 2015 - Team Pete Dinner (Cove99, Peck Seah Street, Singapore): A very good wine, just lacking a bit of oomph to make it a truly great one. This had a lovely lifted nose, with whiffs of vanilla and almonds, white peach and apple, button mushrooms and cracked spices. With time in the glass, a sweet floral perfume and honeyed tones started coming out as well. A complex, attractive nose. It was really pretty on the palate too. This was ripe and fruity, and there was a creamy, almost oily depth on the attack, but it still felt really alive and sprightly in spite of its fleshiness, with bright, prickly acidity running through high-toned flavours of sweet stone fruit laced with roasted nuts and toasty spice. It loss a bit of weight and authority on the midpalate I thought, before a nice streak of almond skin and stony minerality and a blush of spice stretching through the fruit into a long, palate-staining finish. There was just a touch of distracting bitterness right at the end, but otherwise, this was very nice indeed. Still youthful and a little tight, I think it will be even better in 4-5 years. Beyond that, it will probably keep going for ages. Very good, if just lacking a touch of substance on the midpalate to make it a really great Corton-Charlie.
