1989 Bordeaux - 30 years on. (Famous Treasure, Capitol Piazza, Singapore): From magnum, this was an interesting, if slightly edgy and nervous start to the dinner. The nose smelt nicely mature without quite being over-aged, with notes of earth and yeast, white fruit and earthy mineral. The palate still felt really tight and edgy, with bright, lemony acidity and a stern backbone of mineral running through super-defined white fruit flavours. Still really tight and bit reserved even at 30 years of age, but pretty nice. It would be interesting to try this in another decade down the road.

Magnum (Brought to Lieffroy,DK) Quite evolved but very enjoyable. Week mousse but persistent throughout. Green apples, citrus, coffee, hazelnuts, brioche, chalk. Medium aftertaste. Quite sweet at this state.

Een heerlijke nog tintelende belegen wijn. Lang in de kelder en nu als begeleider van n mooi moment. Licht geel, volle warme zonnige geur. Abrikoos, honing, nootje. Mooie smaakaanzet. Vol geconcentreerd.
