Easter Sunday Long Lunch (Crown Wine Cellars, 18 Deep Water Bay Drive, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): Light hay gold colour. Very fine bead. The nose is insanely good …ozone and toasted ‘Hovis’ brown bread and close to perfect. The palate follows through and takes in to a higher level…pinpoint acidity, very high piano notes, totally refreshing, crushed oyster shell. Long and explosively resonant in the head. Absolutely beautiful between four of us over a long Easter Sunday lunch. Bought on release and a considerable step up from the others I have drank from the case. This is an unusually high score for me. 94+

Some lemon, ferrous minerality, touch of ginger, some rind. Quite high dosage?

Starts shy, with some yeasty-biscuity notes. Lime and ginger palate, lovely creamy mouthfeel, nice length. Delicious and mature. 90-91 pts.
