Huat Kee @ Amoy
Tasted Tuesday, July 1, 2008 by Alex H with 434 views
This must be my eldest uncle’s favourite restaurant because everytime there is a celebratory occasion there’s only one place he suggests…much to the dismay of my cousins. Although…this place really does serve excellent Teochew food. I understand this is also a Lao Zhi Hao (old brand name) restaurant with long history and tradition with a refurbished look under the next generation of management. Excellent business luncheon / dinner place as well as being somewhere that you might want to bring grand-dad or granny to.

France, Bordeaux
Flat, dry white with some mineral and citrusy nuances but ...that's as far as it goes.

2004 Paterson's Shiraz Gundagai Flawed
Australia, New South Wales, Big Rivers, Riverina
Some funk at the start...a little corked but it all blew off after sitting a while in the glass. Nice dark chocolate, oak and plummish fruits. Elegance and balanced in its approach.This was subsequently re-rated to 84pts.

2006 Pondalowie Tempranillo MT 78 Points
Australia, Victoria, Central Victoria, Bendigo
Sweet raspberry fruit tart bordering on fake sweetness. Good body and generally a juicy wine. Definitely a crowd pleaser and good as an introductory wine for first time wine drinkers.

2006 Hardys Shiraz 75 Points
Australia, South Australia
Sweet confectionary nose backed by toasty coffee oak. Quite quaffable and balanced. Just loses out on the finish but for a supermarket wine, this is good.
