Thursday, October 22, 2020 - Lunch at Hua Yu Wee, courtesy of Chef D. Pop and poured. Drank over 2+ hours. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear (sediments towards end of bottle only), deep intensity, ruby colour. Thin legs.
Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of menthol, dirty leather, some musky funk, black fruits. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), resolved smooth high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of leather, menthol, grilled bell pepper, blackberries, blackcurrant, cassis, cigar/tobacco. Long finish.
Very good quality. Classic Left Bank Bordeaux at a good age. Maybe I am developing an "old man palate". I am starting to really appreciate these nicely aged Bordeaux stuff.
