  Serious nose of assiness and jackfruit. Big round pebbles with minerality. Excellently made with precision and dexterity. Suprising wine.

  Dim Sum Club eats at Golden Peony (Golden Peony, Conrad Hotel): A nice Pouilly-Fume. This had an incredibly pretty nose. It was really expressive, but a world away from new world versions. This was bursting with floral perfume, tropical jackfruit, pineapple and golden kiwi scents and a nice bit of stoney mineral. Lovely stuff. Very solid on palate too. It had really rich, almost Chard-like weight, but also had nice focus and definition underlining its rich fruited flavours. Here, I got a mix of stone fruit, like peach and apricots, with riper tropical notes of pineapple and kiwi moving into a stoney mineral finish that showed great persistence and a nice sense of balance. Good stuff, probably at the right place for drinking as well.
