CNY drinks (Casa Esperanza): This is drinking beautifully now. I loved the nose of this, with its classic Meursault Perrieres aromas of cream and freshly churned butter, fresh cut apples, white fruit, and a nice dose of flinty, stony mineral. The palate was really on-point too - soft, round, yet with a sneaky energy and definition to it, with well-cut but superbly integrated acidity and a lovely sense of minerality fused though its pure, limpid mouthful of white fruit, lemons and flint. There was an effortless sense of almost Grand Cru depth and intensity to it all, wed to a grace and elegance that really belied its power. A lovely Meursault Perrieres, drinking beautifully now.

Lunch at Summer Pavilion (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): Good, but still needs time to fill up. The nose had a nice melange of white fruit, chalk and slatey minerality along with rounder, more buttery Meursault notes. The palate was still really tight though, with linear 2008 acidity and a real streak of minerality underlining crunchy flavours of green apples with a hint of nectarines at the side. Lovely cut and freshness, a good ripe depth too, but this needs a bit of time yet.

In the zone. Perfect maturity with a little sulphur/solids complexity.
