  Dinner with Achille Merlier (Jade Palace, Forum Galleria, Singapore): A really impressive Bueajolais at 27 years of age. This was easily the match for some of the old Cote de Beaune bottles on the table. The nose clearly was a change in gear though primarily because of a streak of Beaujolais' greenness running though its notes of dark cherry edged with earth and meat. The palate had a really nice juicy clarity and balance to it, with dark cherries again, this time accompanied by a twang of Chinese herbs and some cherry skin tannins as the wine moved into a decent finish. Pretty enjoyable - this was a real surprise.

  During a tasting "bring a bottle that is at least 25 years old". Wow, gusty, a guy actually turned up with a Beaujolais under this theme. Even better, it was a great bottle too. Nose of leather, prune, barnyard with a medicinal finish, great aromas. Palate fruity,m may be not with the tension of Pinot but still good. Got better and better when it was open. Stayed fresh and did not fall apart. What a nice surprise this Bojo was.
