June 8, 2013 - Very honeyed with a lil soy sauced. A little like an old dry sauternes. Again that 98 Pre aged characteristic. Very yellow in colour. Almost orange

May 25, 2013 - Saturday lunch at Jade Palace with KG (Jade Palace, Forum Galleria): Good, but tired. This was unfortunately mildly oxidized, with the lightest umami chicken stock and soy sauce notes. Otherwise, it smelt almost like an old Sauternes, with tons of honey, dried apricots and caramelised apples. All in all, still pretty pleasant, just not what a completely clean 1998 Meursault Perrieres should be smelling like at this point of its evolution. Thankfully, the palate was still very strong, with mouth-coating depth wed to tons of acidity. It showed very expressive flavours of spice and honey drizzled onto over-ripe apples almost shading into stone fruit territory. A little haunting edge of oxidation hang over the whole thing, but not quite enough to distract from the overall quality and feel of the wine. It had a lovely finish too, with more citrusy notes of sweet lemons, more spice, a touch of vermouth-like herb, all layered with another dab of honey over it all. Lovely complexity here, but it was definitely time to drink up this bottle before the creeping oxidation ruined the whole wine.
