Smells like wood, faint hint of vanilla, almost no fruit on the nose. I was expecting a fruit bomb but clearly this wine is past it's prime now. The fruit is hollowed out, leaving a vaguely unpleasant taste.

Dinner for Angela (Chez Patrick, Sun Street, Hong Kong): Black-hole impenetrable colour. Nose of rew American new-barrel resinous oak, big alcohol, hot, deep Boysenberry fruit and some plushness in a not good way.........like a velvet-covered sofa concealing really cheap foam stuffing. Very, very sweet, mouthcoating, Port-like, deep but extremely one-dimensional. Marginally less unpleasant than an actual earthquake......

Zinberry nose, a bit of residual sugar with tannins and a little alcohol heat. Muted raspberry fruit, hint of chocolate. Just okay.

Smooth, black cherry, plum and smoke flavors with a strong finish.
