  October 4, 2011 - 2011 Casual Session - 18 @ Jade Palace (Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant, The Forum Shopping Mall, Orchard Road): Alcohol :: 13.5%
  Bright ruby red. Not really expressive but this is intense and focus with aromas of fresh mint, star anise, roast meat intermixed with red, black cherry as well as earth, really not bad for such a young wine. Still pretty tight despite opened for 5hrs, decanted for 1.5hrs, in fact, it almost shut down at the end of the dinner. A bit austere, but the mouth feel is enormous. very well balance, with good purity and expansive mouth feel that showed off the bright red cherry fruits sweetness that buffer off the high acidic backbone with touch of earth and meatiness that supported by very fine tannin that has almost completely absorb by the concentration. Long finish with orange aftertaste. 88-90
