  Loire Odyssey, Part I - the Non-Chenin Whites (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): I really enjoyed this. The wine was good as is, but it was an absolutely epic pairing with the pacific oysters that we had - my impression may have been very skewed by that, but boy, it was a match made in heaven. On first pour, the wine had an almost oriental nose. Very flowery, with osmanthus, a touch of honeysuckle, and then almond creme scents, a touch of longan dofu, and even a bit of rice wine. The palate had lovely acidity, with lots of savoury, salty seaside flavours playing alongside white plums Choya liquor and a bit of spice before a long, sliding finish full of mineral and chinese tea notes. The wine had a dry grippy structure and some palate staining intensity wrapped up in a milky texture, almost oystery that way, with a bit of white chocolate at the edges. Good. But with the oysters - Wow! The acid, the saltiness and the texture of the wine just flowed into the oyster and then back out again, with both being amplified, yet it was so seamlessly done that you did not know where one stopped and the other began. Absolutely superb - one of the great food and wine experiences I have had.

  Still delicious, crisp, citrus, grass and a touch of mineral on the finish. It is a summer wine: drink up.
