Saturday, November 30, 2013 - The Premox Taste Test - High Risk White Burgundies and More (Mood Indigo, Jalan Kilang Barat, Singapore): Excellent. One of the few 1er Crus in the midst of a flurry of Grand Crus, yet this was probably the best of the reds. It had a rather reserved nose initially, but then unfolded in gentle waves of black cherries and berries and drifts of violet flowers, with wood spice and dried earth – a beguiling mix of masculine and feminine accents. Lovely stuff. The palate was very classy. It had such a lovely purity to it, with beautifully detailed flavours of dark cherries and berries, earth and melting floral tones. There was a sense of strength and definition to the wine that was almost Grand Cru in quality, along with a pure, transparent, almost ethereal feel that was just beautiful. It was a really complete wine, balanced, structured, with a long finish with rings of spice and dried flowers, a pat of wet earth and a touch of herb. It is still young, still full of energy and primary depth, but this was actually quite open for a top-class 1999 Burgundy. As good as it was now, I think it will be even better in 3-4 years. Bravo.
