Saturday, November 30, 2013 - The Premox Taste Test - High Risk White Burgundies and More (Mood Indigo, Jalan Kilang Barat, Singapore): An excellent wine in its own right, though it did struggle somewhat under the shadow of the numerous Grand Crus that came before. I really enjoyed this though. It had a nice attractive nose, where ripen fleshy fruit - nectarines and more citrussy lemons I thought - were mixed-in with chalky, minerally aromas. There was a lovely feel on the palate too, very Puligny, with sweet apples with a few floral touches and some nutty almond inflections where tied to a little underlace of mineral at the finish. Great length here. A very delicious, giving wine, yet it was no floozy - there was clearly good terroir here, with a nice structure and shape to the whole proceedings. It was very nicely balanced too, with a nice freshness undergirding its fleshy notes and not a hint of premox in sight. I would never have guessed 1998 if blind. Very good indeed, and drinking perfectly now.
