  Raw nuts, caramel , honey and deep flavored. Soya sauce and some cognac notes. Lovely palate. The nose and the palate is uncanny. Age did it well.Suprisingly Good.

  Honey lemon barley nose. Still very good acidity and liveliness to this wine, some soy sauce and vinegar, saline, pineapple, and starfruits.

  Adam's Baby Shower (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): This was something else. As good as the 1995 Latour Montrachet was, I thought this matched it stride for stride. They were completely different animals of course, yet no one doubted that this was a Grand Cru Burg of the highest order when it was poured. Almost copper coloured, it had a glorious nose, all honey and soy, dried peaches and apricots, and a layer of mushroomy earth - almost Sauterne-like in its golden goodness. There was tons of age on that bouquet, but this was all sexy, alluring stuff - a Mrs Robinson wine someone said. And how true that was on the glorious palate too. Still creamily textured in true Batard fashion, still fresh and zippy, it unfolded with layers of honeyed, dried apricotty goodness laced with a hint of mineral that came to the fore as the wine moved into the perfectly integrated finish. Mellow, mature, and wonderful to drink, yet wonderfully pure and transparent at the same time, and still super-alive and ringing with clarity, this was just lovely stuff. A real treat.
