  Dinner at Park Palace (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel): Very advanced for a 2007 – this was decent but not exactly great. With whiffs of mushroomy earth alongside sweet pineapple and tropical fruit and a ring of oak, this really nodded towards the Macon. Same thing on the palate. It was decently balanced with a drop of fresh acidity, but somehow felt rather richer, rounder and softer than one would expect from a Cote de Beaune white in a vintage like 2007. The fruit character was also sunnier, with rich notes of kumquats and tropical fruit and grapefruit gummies showing a little sweetness and a touch of alcoholic warmth. A breath of slightly zippier acidity added a bit of definition at the finish before a linger of toasty oak rounded the wine off. Decent enough overall, but this is not a wine that will set anyone’s world alight. Advanced too – it drank like something a good 5-6 years older.
