September 13, 2015 - Served during a timed blind tasting competition of the Confrerie des Chevaliers de tastevin. Medium dark ruby with garnet rim. Nose of earth, spices, red fruit. Rather drying tannins on the palate, spices, wood again. I am missing both the bright fruit and have reservations the qualities of the tannins.

June 2, 2012 - Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore - Back to Basics 2012 (Absinthe, Bukit Pasoh): Really good stuff. This was a real surprise - a Santenay that was quite widely regarded as the best red wine in the tasting. It had a really nice nose, with earth and soil and meat and spice - lovely foresty aromas - alongside some bright red fruited scents. Very alluring. The palate was fresh, bright and pure, with more delicious tones of red cherries and berries laced together with bassier notes of meat and earth and a little bit of spice sprinkled over a plummy finish. It was extremely well balanced and had a good sense of fine 2005 structure as well. Really delicious stuff and ever so well put together. Unusually for a 2005, this was actually drinking quite openly, though it has the bones to age nicely as well. This was a treat that surprised everyone when unblinded.
