Wednesday Dinner at Friends' House (Their House, Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong): Opened an hour before serving but not decanted. Transparent cherry-red colour. Reticent but very pure nose of rose water and raspberry with hints of sous bois. Palate is light but very pure... light raspberry, very high piano notes but no meat. Disappointing but definitely nothing wrong with the bottle. Fell way short of the Calon Segur ‘82 and Ridge Monte Bello 2001 drank alongside it. Might have been better on its own with a light white truffled mushroom pasta dish.... but that is giving it too much the benefit of the doubt. My conclusion is “overrated".

Good material but at this stage this does not yet feel like a superstar in the making.
