A big step up from the village-level Carillon bottlings--much bigger than I expected, frankly. Very subtle oak and the long finish is dominated by clean Chardonnay fruit. Should cruise along for some time but it's very hard to resist now. One odd thing: When I pulled the cork, wine flew out of the bottle. It had been overfilled and the suction of the cork being removed pulled some wine with it! Nice to give me a bonus fill, so I'll be on the lookout for this "problem" in future bottles.

Friday evening at clos pasoh in Singapore with my lovely wife and seb and verane. Recommendation by the sommelier - a bot cheeky cause I thought he was going to serve us a Chablis. But I could not refuse 😎. Medium golden color. Pineapple, red apple, black spices, light mint note and a touch of cream. Med acidity, med body, med alcohol, med flavor intensity, med finish. Nice creamy filling mouth, pineapple, green notes, light black pepper, already very well balanced so a bright future ahead. Especially impressed how mouth filling this was.
