  January 22, 2022 - Dinner at Kel's (Kelvin and Joyce's Place, Bishan): Amazing again. Maybe not quite as stunning as the last bottle of 2017 I had, but this nevertheless remains one of the youngest drinking Turques I have tasted, and one of the best. What a nose this had - plums and cassis, violets and spice, smoke and butter. An amazing melange of sweet seductive scents. Heady and perfumed - it was absolutely seduction. The palate was just delicious too. Melting tannins, juicy lemony acidity, with beautifully pure flavours of dark cherries and wild berries, spice and biscuits, these garlanded with a blush of violets and a subtle minerality pulling away into a wonderfully elegant, quite endless finish. Such a beautiful wine, drinking wonderfully in its youth.

  November 6, 2021 - This is special right from the outset. Smoke, Black cherry, spice, and floral notes. Much meatier than the others. Heft tannins, but so fine-grained that they are already well-integrated. Painfully young, this ends long with a fantastic finish.

  November 3, 2021 - 2021 Guigal single vineyard cote rotie release dinner (Bel & Brio, Barangaroo): Initially medium minus intensity aromas initially but opens with time to show black hued fruits; compote, earthy, spice, with time polished oak starts to show and the fruit becomes more perfumed. Juicy, savoury, quite concentrated, black fruits, tannins are talc textured persistent, proves savoury on the finish as well.

  October 24, 2021 - Kings of Rhone tasting - by far the best Red of the line-up in my opinion. Massive nose, bigger than the ‘16 La Mouline, with the rich oak influence on full display. On the palate this is much more velvety and substantial than the La Moulin and Ex-Voto, with smoked meats, blueberry jam and sexy tannins. The finish lingers on and on. Stylistically very different from the Chapoutier Hermitages I’ve always gravitated to, in a nicely complementary way. One of the Kings of Rhone, indeed…
