July 9, 2023 - Angela's Belated Birthday Lunch (Giando, 5 Star Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong): Carefully uncorked but not decanted. Very dilute and transparent advanced amber colour. Nose of rose water, anthracite and freshly ground nutmeg. Beguiling. It keeps blossoming and unfolding like a rose in the glass. Palate is light on its toes but immediately billows inside the head mind-expandingly. Dry semi-air dried black and red cherry fruit balanced by still quite sharp tannins. It keeps revealing a different and additional plane, like an abstract modernist painting. It gets very contemplative and near silence-creating with an hour in the glass. Multi-dimensional. A real treat as we were anticipating that it might fade quickly whereas it did the opposite. 93-94
