  May 28, 2014 - My last bottle. This wine was technically very good, but did not leave me wanting to finish the bottle. Everything was in balance, but maybe a couple years past prime. Marzipan, creme brûlée, and creamy oak. Would have been better with food to match.

  June 2, 2012 - Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore - Back to Basics 2012 (Absinthe, Bukit Pasoh): I very much liked what I saw here, but I had feeling that this wine had seen better days and was just starting to slip under the shadow of premox. A bit disappointing given the pedigree of the producer and the strength of the vintage when the bottle was unveiled. It did have a lovely nose though, full of those lovely aromas that one only gets in mature, or maturing Burgundy, with little funky mushroom and earth notes, honeyed figs, kumquats and yellow fruited pineapples. It was only a little oxidative browned apple twang at the edges of the bouquet that got me a bit concerned. The palate more of less confirmed it. There were those same lovely earthy tones along with some honey and sugarcane flavours and some brighter lemony notes on the midpalate, all very delicious, with the strength of the Chassagne terroir sculpted by the elegant winemaking of the house, with nice acidity weaving through the rich flavours. Very nice up till there. Unfortunately, the oxidative brown apple notes started emerging again past the midpalate, and the wine seemed more or less thinned out by the finish, leaving onlu a little linger of flowers and nutty accents. A real pity, this was still a nice wine, but appears to have been a lot more when whole.

  April 14, 2012 - Lovely stuff. Quite a mature colour, but no hint of ox. A touch of linseed oil and butter complements the fruit, and there is excellent acidity. Really warm and satisfying. Julia loved it. I did not know Chassagne could be this good.
