  World's Greatest, Hong Kong - Night II (Garden Suite, Peninsula Hotel): Soy, hoisin, and worstecher at first. Swirling brings out more blackberry. I’m getting less on the nose here. The palate however is bold and punchy and has big blackberry fruit still. Not as good as the '29 Mouton in the next glass, nor the 1911 Latour in the first.

  A strange wine indeed. Served double blind there was no doubt this was a very old Bordeaux. The color of strong tea, little fruit remained, most of what there was by this point was buried under all the cedar, tobacco, old wood, cigar wrapper and citrus. The texture was a step up, with its softness and polish, leaving with more leafy, earthy, tangy citrus notes in the very bright finish. I am sure what made this wine so odd was that the 1928 Lafite, due to a flaw that took place during the vinification was pasteurized. The chateau ended up taking back a large production of the wine from unhappy clients due to a court order.

  At the Lafite Vertical Dinner, Amuse Bouche Hong Kong - A little 'muddied'. The strong tannins of the vintage still in evidence but I don't think the fruit lasted the distance.
