June 2, 2012 - Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore - Back to Basics 2012 (Absinthe, Bukit Pasoh): A decent wine, but a tad bit disappointing for a Simon Bize produced wine from such a strong white wine vintage. There was clearly some age on the nose with this one, with nice secondary notes of earthy, mushroomy undergrowth to go with its fleshy white fruit aromas and little creamy nuances. Quite attractive really. The palate had a rather rich, oily texture to it, with sweet lemons and yellow fruit wed to bright, snappy acidity. There was some ripeness to this along with more of the creamy notes picked up on the nose. However, full all that, there was a nice freshness to the wine for all its fleshy weight. I just wished there was a bit more going on - apart from the nicely complex nose, this came across as rather ho-hum, a bit simple. The slightly nutty finish had some length on it, but was still cloaked in a little layer of some oaky popcorn and spice. Not quite my favourite thing in the world on a mature Chardonnay. Overall, a decent wine, but nothing really special.

November 7, 2007 - Terroir-istes International - White Burgundy Mix (mostly 2002) (Rodwell House): Gentle aromas of straw, mineral, oatmeal. The entry is quite oaky with good intensity of flavour. Quite richly texture the acid feels a little loose-knit/fat and blowsy. Full-ish style with some citrus, more porridge oats towards Bircher Meusli and even strawberry!
