Upper House Dining (Göteborg): This was really extraordinarily good and beat even the preceding Wittman Morstein GG: A harmonious, expansive wine with a creamy texture, it showed all that is great in a mature white Burgundy.

Pale straw with high viscosity. Immediately floral and chestnut- tainted aroma full of nutty undertone and light toasting. The taste is bursting of extravagant fruit and well-leveled acidity, butter and mealectic traits abound and balance. This wine is now starting to get seriously good. Time to enjoy and drink up by 2015 (revised from previously 2018)

Straw-coloured with agreeable legs. Oaky maleactic aroma straight through. Taste is rounded with well-balanced acidity, a medium-long 30 second palate that is uncomplicated and delightful. A good drinker that is at it's peak. Enjoy!

Domaine de Montille dinner - Confrerie des Chevalier du Tastevin, Singapore (Harbour Grill, Hilton Hotel): I really liked this. Started out nicely, but got really very good as it sat in the glass. Lovely nose. Lots of depth and character, with deep cahlky mineral notes, earth, straw mushrooms and a touch of flowers. Lots of personality on the palate as well. Sweet apples, lots of spice notes like nutmeg and cloves, ripe lemons, mineral - all nicely integrated, with plenty of complexity and a good sense of structure. Pretty good acid for a 2006 as well. I thought there was a little bit of heat at the back of the mouth, but so slight that it did not distract. In fact, the wine remained very alive and interesting all the way into a smashing finish with plenty of length - with spice and mineral notes lingering in a lovely interplay of flavours. Very good indeed.

Wine really very good right now. Hard to hold it further. John's favorite during dinner. Maybe to 2015?

A light and fragrant slightly buttery beauty with enjoyable qualities. Solid still until 2015

Tasted blind. Nutty, lychee notes, along with chevre cheese and glycerin on the palate.
