Introduction

Authentic sichuan dishes of spice and colour with rich wines to match.

Flight 1 - Varied dishes of eel, fish, chicken all drowned in copious peppers (1 Note)

  • 2009 Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 90 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Youthful and direct at the moment, opens up a little in the glass with candied spices and chocolate. Nice structure with a decent finish. Needs time.

Flight 2 - Noodles and fresh stired fried veggies (1 Note)

  • 2001 Artadi Rioja Pagos Viejos 95 Points

    Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alavesa, Rioja

    Lovely. Had just the right amount of dust / smokiness to reflect a beguiling complexity, giving way to tart, sharp fruit with a pleasing hint of citrus, lavender and leather. Very impressive structure and mouthfeel. Would definitely want to get more of this outstanding wine.

Chased down unfortunately with Chinese white liqueur and beer. Not to be repeated.
