  Serious Burgundy night: Dark golden in colour. Showed its age with some honey and caramel notes. A stately, weighty wine but I preferred the younger Boillot tonight for its tension.

  Very intense nose of citrus, stone fruit, honey. Golden yellow in color which worried me a little but the palate was pure class with lots of weight and well balanced acidity. Complex fruit flavours that mirrored the nose. Super finish and definitely one of the best BBMs I've tasted. Their '03 Chevy tasted a week earlier had quite a lot of intensity too but with a more tropical fruit profile. Acidity in the Chevy however was a touch low perhaps due to the vintage.

  NR as there was too much going on to remember, but this was very nice, interestingly it was really dark and i immediately thought would be premox and or have too much "aged" character for my liking, but both Tiff and i really loved it, i remember good acid and not too much old smoke / caramel coming in, weird given how dark it was, thanks much to Joe for bringing to wine dinner, BBM is one of my favorite vineyards and i'd never seen a Boillot bottle

  White elder flowers with sour sweet lemons and tangerines. Orange blossoms and mineral as well. Fresher more precise

  Ming's Birthday (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): A brilliant wine - most of the table agreed that this bested a very good on 1998 Amiot Guy Montrachet on the same flight. We had another lovely nose here - a lot of honey, a nice earthy undertone, sweet white flower scents, ripe melons and stone fruit aromas - beautiful stuff. Absolutely delicious on the palate too. Really round, fleshy, luscious, yet wonderfully balanced, precise and oh so focused. It had such great poise, with a spine of vibrant acidity and slatey mineral running through its deep flavours of melons and pears, almost feminine in its shape, but certainly masculine in its depth and breadth. Lovely stuff. The finish had a nice length to it as it rounded the wine off, with fleshy stone fruited flavours seasoned with motes of spice and a lift of citrussy lemons. There was just a touch of vanilla bean in there as well as the wine faded off. Really delicious stuff at a nice place now - this is what white Burgundy is all about.
