Friday, May 7, 2021 - Belated Birthday Dinner (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Very, very good indeed. The nose was rather subtler and less pretty than the 2007 Potel Charmes-Chambertin that we had alongside, but somehow deeper, perhaps more compelling, with a deep pull of red cherries and fragrant wild berries infused with bits of rocky mineral and peppery spice, maybe a touch of savoury meatiness as well. Absolutely lovely stuff. It was on the palate where this really showed its chops though. This had almost Grand Cru depth, filling the mouth with beautiful layers of black cherries and sweet dark berries, then gentle wafts of earth and spice, all these layered on a bed of stony minerality. There was just a superb sense of depth and balance on the wine as it unfolded across the mouth all the way into a wonderfully long, superbly integrated finish. Bravo. This was superb bottle, drinking wonderfully now.
