a little bit disappointed, high minerality, nut, petrol but different to matured riesling, elegant, long aftertaste, drank it 28/05/2011, I guess too young

Chablis like with minerals and white stonefruits. Still very tight and closed. Needs to be more expressive but the body is mineral laden though not impressive.

Late Night Drinks at Kelvin's (Kelvin and Joyce's Place, Bishan): Decent wine, but a Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet from a lovely vintage like 2002 really needs to be something rather more than decent. Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. The nose showed maturing aromas of chalk and earth and honey draped over a core of ripe yellow fruited aromas - nectarines maybe, and a whiff of kumquats. Decent, nut nothing especially outstanding. The palate echoed those tones - it was ripe and yellow fruited, with a round, creamy texture; all quite nicely proportioned, with a decent depth and weight. There were nice flashes of an underlying spice and chalky mineral notes that brought Chablis to mind on the finish. However, I thought it went a bit flattish in terms of acidity and lacked some intensity for a Grand Cru. It got a bit better with time and air, but all in all, this was a decently good wine and little else.
