  Loire Odyssey, Part IV - Vouvray (Blu, Shangri-La, Singapore): Decently good, but not great, especially given the standard of the wines that preceded it. This had an unusual nose for a Vouvray. It smelt like primarily of pine nuts and retsina before one got to more typical lanolin scents along with a little underlayer of apple fruit aromas. The palate was very juicy, with citrussy notes of kumquats, lemons and limes at the fore with some green apples seasoned with a touch of spice and more pine nuts at the finish. It was very lively, energetic, which I liked, but the acidity was a bit on the high side when the wine was drank by itself, so that it needed some food to tame it.

  Charity Event for Lee Ah Mooi Old Aged Home (My Little Spanish Place): This was a real surprise. I had never heard of this bottling before and was not intending on trying it, but boy was I glad I did - this was a smashing bottle of Vouvray Moulleux. Having had the benefit of breathing for several hours in an open bottle, it showed lovely nose - all seashells, cotton wool, honeyed melons, apples and apricots. Rich scents that made the wine just so very inviting. The palate carried on just where the nose left off. It had a rich, creamy texture, yet was surprisingly clean and bright, with a lovely clarity to its pure apple flavours laced with more seashells, cotton wool and spiced nuances. I just loved the bits of citrussy acidity that weaved its way in and out of the superbly integrated midpalate. It had a great finish too, coating the mouth with a layer of old honeyed notes, brown sugar and a touch of cloves. A beautiful wine at a very nice place now.

  Dark gold, very acrid, but underneath really intense raisin fruit - but the acridity too much for me
