During a "Covid Stuck in Singapore" 14.July French National day lunch. Classic, tertiary notes on the nose. Earthy, almost Medoc like. Beautiful aromatics but a bit too sinewy and acidic on the palate for a higher score.

A pretty amazing showing, though, I am developing an affinity for older Gaffeliere. Clean bottle and pristine cork. Giving nose that was tobacco, and green earth and leather. The fruit was lively, a round core of red/blue fruit that was almost refreshing in its youthfulness. Slight hint of green herb on the finish that added some complexity for me. Inspiring life to this wine. Continued to evolve as it sat in my glass. Pleasure.

Good. Trending downhill. Still have fruit, with soy, leather. Short after taste. Finished within 2 hrs

I think the first bottle was possibly corked because this one turned up! It was dense and impressive with a hint of acidity.
