Introduction

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.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2004 Château Beauchamps Bordeaux Blanc 63 Points

    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.
