  2011 Simple Series 6: WOTN (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck @ Paragon): Alcohol :: 12%
  From 750ml. Another rare treat for a 37yrs old German Riesling BA! Expressive, mature bouquet of dried tea leaves with sweet mangoes, dried apricots and peaches core. Not highly complex, but fully mature and the sense of harmonious and freshness is stunning. A complete wine that flows through to the palate with seamless connection from entry to the very long, fresh, detail finish. Another great example of high intensity that coat and care your palate but never being heavy. What a great way to end the dinner! I love this. Buy - Yes.

  2011 Simple Series VI: Dave's Birthday (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): Very nice stuff. It nosed quite a bit younger than its age, with just little bits of rubber and petroleum floating alongside yellow fruit scents, some apricot and peach, and a little whiff of musk and dried flowers. Given the ripeness on the palate though, both TM and I guessed it as a 1976 BA. It still had some sweetness to it, but the ripe apricot, peach and yellow fruit notes had mellowed into a beautiful balanced package. A long finish with lots of musky notes and another flourish of dried flowers alongside rubber and spice notes rounded the wine off. A lovely pairing with our salted egg-yolk and custard bun dessert, and a great way to end a great diner.
