Edmund and Shuming hosted dinner with Claudio and Dawn, Winnie, Juliane and me. Fantastic company, great wines and great food cooked by Edmund. I was so spoilt and had such a good time that I was glowing from the dinner for the next 24 hours or so.

Tagliatelle with truffle paste and sliced truffles
Roast beef (beauftifully done!), mash potatoes and salad on the side, with mustard and aged caramelised balsamic vinegar

I was as impressed by this bottle as the last one I had. Golden yellow coloured, this was served a little warmer than the last time I had it, with the flavour profile showing less of the citrussy grapefruit tones. This time round, the nose held fleshy white fruit, musky white flowers and a slight savoury whiff. The palate was rich and creamy, with honeysuckle and beeswax tones. Very nicely balanced, with round dollops of acid and a nice minerally finish. Just a light touch of heat, but otherwise a great wine all round.
