  Claypot Rice with Chards and Burgs (La Chaseur, New Bridge Road): Strange wine this - very similar impressions to my last outing with a previous bottle. Certainly good, but somehow underwhelming. Very competently made, good expression of its terroir, yet it was missing a bit of the magic one would expect in a good vintage from a plot historically thought to be part of Romanee St Vivant. It certainly had a beautiful nose. Sous bois, meat, flowers, dark cherries, some iron and lots of sweet spices mingling in a heady mix. The palate was a bit on the thin, highly acidic side when first popped, with slightly tart cherries and irony flavours at the fore. However, a couple of hours later, it had settled down into a clean, clear, rather lovely expression of dark cherries spiked with Vosne spice. It had nice texture too, with fine tannins adding shape to what to mid-palate, where there was a nice depth of gummy cherries accompanied by more of that ringing freshness. Solid stuff. Somehow though, there was just a bit of oomph missing, almost as though somehow pressed the mute button on all the lovely nuances picked up on the nose. It was just a bit pedastrian in spite of all the good stuff going on. This was most noticeable at the finish, which showed good weight and lots of sweet wood spice, but came across as someone stolid and workmanlike

  2005 Burgundy Grand Cru / 1er Cru Tasting (Denise Wines, Vivocity, Singapore): This was thrown in for fun. Good, but disappointing from this vineyard. Mocha and cherry nose, good acid and balance. Attractive sour cherries on the palate. Typical Vosne spice in the finish. Pleasant and enjoyable, but certainly no "wow" factor.
