  Light ruby/amber. Burgundian nose of old vine fruit, soil and earth but the underlying cedar, leather and orange peel gives it away as a Bordeaux and classic Lafite terroir coming through. Really a magical experience on the nose. In the mouth it is delicate and light but still a wonderful mellow drink of light prune and almost cognac notes without any alcoholic burn or roughness. Smooth and no tannin left left still fresh and with a nice refreshing finish. Drinking history and a generous gift from JK over a family Sunday dim sum lunch in HK. Wonderful.

  Mostly secondary notes of cedar, tobacco, cigar box, smoke and earth, with a little cassis tossed in for good measure. Light, with freshness, elegant textures and a clean, red berry finish.
