Flower-Power: Snippets from Joyce's Birthday (Chin Huat Live Seafood): Rather Burg-like and pretty good. I thought it was a modernly styled Volnay with its pretty nose of sweet spices, dried flowers and herbs along with a sweet cherry undertone. The palate was actually quite nice too - well balanced, bright, expressive, with still rather primary flavours of red cherries and berries sprinkled with a bit of earth and spice, and a twist of orange peel at the very end. Not terribly complex, but this had a nice sense of presence to it. A very decent pinot indeed, and a real surprise.

disappointing bottle from Zanella which does not maintain its promises. Flat taste with no particular note to be reminded.

Old taxi cab and talcum powder. Some white dried elderflowers. Smooth burg like palate but more NSg.
