Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 7, 2011 - Friday Dinner at Crown Wine Cellars (Crown Wine Cellars, 18 Deep Water Bay Drive, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): Purple-tinged and completely opaque black/red colour. Nose is charcoal-ish, still fresh-sawn box wood, everything is still very young, briarberries fruit. Palate is WOW! wonderful matured blackberry with great pureness and cassis intensity....almost like Ribena concentrate in a bottle from my childhood. Gorgeous fresh, vibrant acidity. Perfectly balanced and resolved but still with a stout spine of tannin to keep everything in place. Like a lean but elegant Lafite. Very complete. Understated length and resonance that just goes on and on and on. Just has that extra sophistication over the Dominus 1992 and Pahlmeyer 1996 we drank alonside it. Continued to improve even 5 hours after opening. Gosh.......95+.
