  Treasures from Burgundy (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Lovely stuff – this was the pick of the whites. There was a nice matured character to the nose, with whiffs of biscuits and nuts and browned butter alongside the ripest appley aromas, almost shading into yellow fruit territory, and then little drifts of flowers and a bit of mineral. A lot going on there. After that, the palate was almost surprising with its clean, clear feel. It showed white fruit on a lemony backdrop, with nice acidity lending the flavours a lovely clarity and a nice sense of cut and precision – much like the Leroy Bourgogne that came before. This certainly had more depth though, clearly punching above its weight, even as the Leroy did in its turn. At the finish, a light seasoning of mineral, spice and some roasted nuts carried the wine into a pleasing end. A lovely drop, drinking well now. Lafon's Clos de la Barre is always one of the best village whites one can get in Burgundy, and he did really well in 1994.

  Outstanding; this was my last bottle of many that have pleased over and over; thick and creamy texture carried tons of apple, pear and citrus; it got better from the nose on and when it got to the back end, it gave a complete pleasurable, memorable experience; can this evolve into anything greater? Regardless, I`m in the hunt for some more.
