  Somewhat sappy sensation, gave the impression of missing acid. Slightly candied fruit, more candied and less cherry than say the Le Pin, but more fruity than the Cheval Blanc or the Montrose. Enjoyable. Easier drinking, more accessible, less "intellectual" than many of the other 1989 Bordeaux.

  drunk alongside the 1994 Ducru Beacaillou (admittedly a strange combination...), and very surprisingly much the poorer of the two - this was hollow and largely lifeless although it does not appear or smell past its prime - I have only a couple of bottles left and the 1989's have generally been excellent so will leave these in the hope the wine is just in a "dumb" phase

  Alex and William's Birthday Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): A solidly good, if not quite spectacular Pomerol, drinking nicely now. The nose was especially attractive, with lovely drafts of dark berries and plums, and then a bit of earth and meat, these wreathed with fragrant rolls of tobacco smoke and Christmas spice. Very pretty indeed. The palate was very elegant too, with a robe of powdery, velvety tannins and soft acidity draped over rich plum and earth and chocolate notes, and then a more defined spine of mineral and spice, with a puff of tobacco smoke drifting away into the distance. Very nice, if just lacking some of the oomph from a top, top vintage of Trotanoy.
