Drank this at Kai Garden for a wine dinner with my wine mates. Theme of the evening: A wine to end the year with.
Deep gold in colour, almost amber like. Notes of raw honey, bee wax, dried peaches, fresh apricot and sliced mango. Savouring this wine is like enjoying golden sunshine in a bottle.

50cl chilled down bottle. Absolutely gorgeous wine now. It has matured wonderfully. Delicious mature citrus fruits with refreshing acidity. I think I probably last tried a bottle 7-8 years ago and it wasn’t anywhere near as good.

Classy, classic! From a 375, served against a carrot cake loaded up with pineapple. I was happy with the match. Nice weight to the wine, still showing some backbone and freshness. Medium golden color, tropical fruit and dried apricot notes. Great QPR. Enjoyable now and felt like would have a long drinking window.

Deep amber, faint green rim; barley sugar & marmalade, toffee; rich, tending to fat, caramel, power & intensity but with cut. Extended. Later burly. Drink soon

1996 Bordeaux (Piccolino, Liverpool Street Stn, London): Half. Coconut, some botrytis. Mid sweetness. A sense of the lip-smacking. Very decent and some. ****
