I love the decadence of the nose.. combo of old leather chairs and sweet violets.. plate smooth and long, medium bodied, but drying finish and lack of fresh elements suggest may have been even better in its youth

Straits Wines - Wine Fiesta 2019 (Grand Hyatt Singapore): Finally I get to taste this. A complex one, lilac and lavender flowers, cassis, raspberry, orange peel, roasted walnuts, some mocha and toast, and a little hint of BBQ meat at the back, towards the fairly long finish. Indeed like what Julian said, this is the Ministry’s answer to CDP. Nice!

This wine lacks no generosity of fruit but I love its restraint. There are gentle florals, perfectly ripe red and black fruits and a savoury earthiness. It is glossy in the mouth, perfectly balance dn proportioned and cut with minerally acidity. Flavours build and it has sneaky persistence.
