  Vosne Night (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Decently good, but clearly a few notches below the La Grand Rue from the same vintage. I thought this had quite engaging nose, not quite green, but showing a touch of dried, powdered Chinese herbs mingling amidst sweeter notes of dried red cherries and strawberries and a little lift of perfume, with a suggestion of dried flowers and sweet spice at the sides. Very attractive - I would never have guessed that this was a 2004 even with that little hint of herb. The palate was bright and juicy, very light on its feet in spite of having a good amount of substance on the attack, with delicious flavours of red berries leading into a nice finish, where a little bite of fresh acidity and fine tannins paved the way for a trailing tail of toasty spices. I thought this was perhaps a touch on the light side for Grand Cru as it went past the midpalate, but there was certainly still enough here for it to be very engaging. Nice, if just lacking a bit of oomph. Not sure it will be the longest lasting wine, but it should drink well over the next decade or so.

  Very good for the vintage, clearly grand cru level. After 2 hours in the decanter opening up fast and dramatically.Waves of raspberries, cherries and cinnamon, fresh, good midpalate and length. Enough acidity and round tanins to improve over the next years if you want to wait, but very special and appealing now.
