Long lunch with 16 close friends to celebrate Greg & Sayo's first return to Hong Kong in 3 years.
The Quinoa crust didn't really add anything to the Foie Gras but the d'Yuem was so mesmirising that I don't think anyone noticed.
This was superlative....so succulent and perfectly cooked and plated. Bravo!
A lovely lunch and Crown excelled themselves with the quality of the food, the presentation and the service.

As an aperitif from 2 magnums. Base is the 2005 vintage but with various slugs going back to the great 1990 vintage. Disgorged in late 2012-early 2013. Very refreshingly saline on the nose. Chalky and pinpoint frizzante on the palate. Nicely buzzy inside the head. A real pleasure. One of the best releases I have enjoyed as an aperitif.....I normally find it needs food, especially Cantonese cuisine, to shine. But this was just great on a Sunday lunchtime as an intro.
