Joyce and Gillian's Birthday soiree (Faber Lodge Function Room): Enticing nose. Fuller and the most developed and full bodied white for the night. Layered and exhibiting good balance. White flowers, scented pears and white stonefruits with a good dose of richness.

Soiree (Mount Faber Lodge, Singapore): What a striking co-incidence, this was the second bottle of Vergers on the night. The first, a 2004 Marc Morey, was mine, this was Leonards'. I thought this was really good - one notch up from the already very decent Marc Morey. Strange thing is that we all noted how much similarity this wine shared with the first Vegers, yet no one hazard a guess that it was the same vineyard. In fact, almost everyone called this a Puligny! Lovely nose. Same lines as the previous wine, but quite a bit more expressive, with red Fuji apples alongside whiffs of earth, flint and plenty of chalk and a nice whiff of sweet gardenia-like flowers. Very pretty. Palate too showed very expressively. I thought it was really alluring, very pretty, with more red apples, more flowers. Plenty of velvety depth and fullness here, but it was both weighty and supple, with a lovely balance to it. A bit less minerality than on the nose, but enough to lend the otherwise very eager to please wine a nice little edge. It finished seamlessly, with a lengthy, but gentle fade of fresh fruit and a little citrus twist. I really liked this.

Pretty floral, mild lemon flavors. Elegant, a bit light an not much minerality.
