2011 Simple Dinner Series 12 :: A night with CDPs (Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant, The Forum Shopping Mall, Orchard Road): Alcohol :: 13.5% Light golden that display refreshing aromas of honey, sea breeze, almond, pear and melon. A little bit oily at entry but quickly covered by the crisp acidity and elegant white and yellow fruits with lots of mineral at the background. Though small scale, but this has really good focus, freshness and transparency to it with gentle grip and energy. Long, detail finish with almond, mineral aftertaste.

Pale gold. Served very cold initially. Aldehydes, amonds and orange peel. Quite dense and rich. Buttery middle and finishes on a note of fino dryness and with more than a hint of warmth. Solid wine, albeit slightly too advanced for its years. Drink now and for a few more years. Not bad, but not a great white CNDP.

Plonk. I do not think that this bottle was flawed, it just was not very good wine. I tasted the '06 at the Wild Ginger tasting, and I liked that wine. Apparently Laurence has learned to make better whites since '01.
