  December 17, 2020 - Alex and William's Birthday Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Really lovely - this was the pick of the bunch of very nice white Burgundies we had. It had a very nice nose indeed, with golden drops of honey and rich cream drizzled over a core of ripe yellow fruit, these infused with a touch to earthy mineral, spice, and then just that hint of floral aromas. A rich, buttery nose, but with a good amount of fragrant lift to it that kept it interesting. The palate was very nice too. Sunny and ripe, yet with a nice reservoir of citrusy kumquat acidity, along with a solid spine of dry extract and minerality, all giving a good sense of shape and definition to the wines otherwise round, generous flavours of butter, cream and ripe yellow fruit. These leading into a round, warmly spiced finish. A very full, powerful wine. Surprisingly though, even with its greater depth and weight, this almost seemed just that little more defined and well-cut than the 2001 that preceded it, which made it the better drink overall. Lovely stuff, drinking beautifully now.

  December 18, 2016 - again a great bottle, now hints of evolution, in a positive way, now clearly in its drinking window.

  November 19, 2016 - Sparkling at 70 (Ekatahuna, New Zealand): Drinking beautiful without a trace of oxidation. An opulent example of the wine with plenty of butterscotch and mealy complexity. Broad palate and very approachable. Opened beautifully in the glass and very classy. Excellent food wine. Most impressive.

  September 20, 2016 - Freshness and complexity combined together. Delicate and not overdone with long scent of acidity. My type of Burg white.
