Alex and William's Birthday Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Yet another Sauzet Batard, this one far older than the other two bottles. A solid white Burg, especially at its age, but this was probably the least pleasing of the many we had on the night. The nose was still noticeably sweet and ripe, with draws of sweet yellow fruit with an almost tropical pineapple and peach edge to them, and then little drifts of cream and mineral, followed by a deep honeyed twang. Very attractive. The palate had that same richness in tone, with more peach and pineapple tones underlined by a deep, powerful bed of white fruit and chalky mineral, all pulling away into a tremendously long finish. Full, powerful, generous for something this old, yet always decently balanced and defined with a good bit of acidity and mineral. Somehow though, while well-shaped and certainly solid, this certainly missed some of the more youthful energy of either the 2000 or the 2001 Sauzet Batards that preceded it. All in all, a nice wine, but time to drink up.

Cellaraid - Chardonnay Corfefe Luncheon and red wine based Dinner (Tonny's Restaurant): clear, deep gold; clean, pronounced nose, with aromas of lemon and honey; dry, acidic, high alcohol, medium bodied, medium intensity, with flavours of lemon, honey, grass, wet stone, with a long finish; very good wine; can drink now, but has ageing potential
