    November 28, 2018 - Drunk at the Fine Wine Experience Biondi-Santi Riserva Rarities Dinner at Otto e Mezzo in Hong Kong. As was usual with all of the wines at this dinner there was a touch of oxidation on the nose when you first approach this, but it's clear the depth is there. Give it (lots of) time in the glass to allow it to unravel; apparently the high levels of acidity keep it closed but it WILL change in the glass. There is the sweetness that age brings but it retains all the characteristics of a wine that is not yet close to decline. It even has 'legs' that belie its age. It deserves its legendary status and apparently another legend, none other than Frank Sinatra used to carry this wine with him on his travels!
