November 30, 2022 - RC's corporate 15th anniversary dinner banquet, Asia Society (Hong Kong): Whoa! When you see the big sheep being poured at a dinner party for 200+ guests, you know the host is serious. And so you have to rise to the occasion: be on best behavior, restrained almost, no stumbling about and slurring of speech. Because you want to be invited back!
Clear bright ruby in the glass; gorgeous classic blackcurrant and cassis nose, darkly elegant, with light notes of ash, tar and cedar. Medium bodied on the palate, the tannins are still prominent though very finely knit into a tight silky mesh around the black fruit. There is a smooth complexity in the medium finish. Still 5-7 years from full maturity, but very drinkable. A perfect party Mouton, apparently there's such a thing!1,879 views
