Quite mute at first but opened up after half an hour, with some marshmallow, truffle, candied lemon peel and cheese rind (in a good way). Delicious with food -- only knock would be the slight, distracting bit of heat on the back end. I served this at close to room temp.

Bruno Giacosa Tribute Dinner (Casa Tartufo, Singapore): Idiosyncratic, but really quite good. It had a fascinating nose, not oxidised in spite of its orange colour, instead it was a dry, flinty bouquet, with clay and stone and neutral white fruit. Nice. The palate was lovely. Muscular and almost structured through skin contact, it coated the palate with full, powerful flavours of white fruit, pear and more spicy notes, all dovetailing into long, powerful, mineral finish. A really characterful wine that went beautifully with food.

Captivating stuff. Demands attention though

Mild and friendly. Mild tannin, coconut on the nose. Reminds me of a white Burg in fact. A wow wine, WOTN for me.
