  Reductive and highly oxidized tasting. Not a huge surprise considering that I bought off the shelf of an oriental market and let sit in my cellar for years!

  Ok, I took a chance on 15 year old Chinese wine. Heavily Oxidized funk smell and taste. Undrinkable. I took a sip against my better judgment. I feel like I won fear factor. Sad that this was my first experience to Chinese wine.

  Habe den Wein jetzt über fünf (5!) Tage hinweg getrunken und der letzte Rest der Flasche ist nun im Glas. Ein Cabernet der nicht schwächelt. Wahnsinn. Schmeckt wie am ersten Tag, keinerlei Alterungsnoten. Dafür satte dunkle Farbe im Glas und rauchige Aromen. Hätte ich nicht gedacht...

  Cellar Raid; 1/15/2010-1/17/2010 (Extraspace): We think its an 03 though not clearly written on the label but there were some chinese descriptors at the back. Suprising effort with old world austerity and extremely earthy dirty frontal attack. This left many ppl guessing a german pinot/ greek varietal or some spanish minor regional. That does say something about the direction China is going with their wines. Old fashioned backward wines are favoured over the new world fruityness that is so much more easily made. Quite an attractive nose of the bitter herbal roots and just a touch of sweet fruit to the end. On the palate, this really is extremely austere and you can almost feel like biting on a dry branch covered with dried root herbs. Tastes less oak driven than it actually smells which was very interesting. In fact, this has a kumquat ring to it at the end.

  Red and dark berry nose with rowanberries, bitter herbs, bell pepper and charcoal.
  Medium bodied palate with refreshing acidic backbone and dry style. Some figgier fruit. Mid-length.
  Straightforward stuff, but quaffable.
