  Lunch at Voyage (Voyage Patisserie, Singapore): Gorgeous stuff. This had a beautiful nose, all heady scents of dark cherries and blueberries, dried violets and roses, earth and powdered spices. A wonderfully perfumed bouquet. It was lovely on the palate too, soft, velvety tannins and gently juicy acidity framing lovely, almost savoury flavours of earth and meat, dark cherries and blueberries, violets and gentle spice, all beautifully integrated and together at this point of its evolution, and trailing away into a charming finish that reminded me of Darjeeling tea. Lovely, and drinking so well now.

  First taste of the vaunted '62 vintage and this did not disappoint. The nose alone was an incredible experience. Complex and beautiful and very much what I love about old Burgundy. Forest floor, leather, hints of game meat and dried floral notes all mingled in with surprisingly fresh red berry notes. With air the fruit becomes more prominent and some spice notes develop. The palate was initially a little bit short with acidity seeming a bit much, but this fleshed out more with air and became long and lingering. A killer bottle that had a good fill level and while fully mature, was in no risk of falling apart.
