  Great nose with a lot of Puligny soil. The front palate is very nice but is slightly hollow finish. Hopefully will improve with time.

  2011 Tasting Event - Goedhuis in SG (Hotel Fort Canning): Wow! This grab my attention for the very first snip. Very focus and perfume, with intense mineral core that surrounded by an array of green apple, citrus as well as some cold herbs and white floral. Lifted but not showy. The palate is full of ripe citrus, pear and melon that underpinned but the mouth watering acidity and soft mineral. This doesn't has the scale and complexity of a top 1er cru but the elegance, refreshing mouth feel and wonderful balance, focus and energy is really enticing. Juicy, medium length finish with mineral that lingered. Very good! 88-89+

  Goedhuis Wine Tasting Singapore (Fort Canning Hotel): Piercing acidity despite the vintage. This was unmistakably Puligny on the nose. Exciting with sheer presence. Not made in a weighty style and does remind me somewhat of a Chevalier-Montrachet with excellent precision.

  Goedhuis Tasting 2011 (Fort Canning Hotel): A truly excellent 1er Cru. This started out with a beautiful Puligny nose - cream, gentle earthy scents, some melon fruit, lots of nice minerally aromas, a touch of florals. It came across ripe, yet controlled, deep, yet lifted - a very nice bouquet indeed. The palate, I thought, was even better. This was clearly a top 1er Cru if not a Grand Cru in terms of quality. It had plenty of depth and concentration, almost intensity in the way it unfolded across the mouth in an inexorable flow of fleshy white and yellow fruit flecked with chalky hints, yet it was clean, well-proportioned and absolutely focused with a laser-like cut to it. Plenty of depth, yet wonderful whole and harmonious. A wonderfully detailed finish with its mingle of vanillin, flowers and hints of mineral rounded the whole package off beautifully. I loved this - an excellent wine. I am not sure it will be the longest lasting white Burg, but it is drinking so well in its youth that this should not really be a bother.
