  January 4, 2014 - Never had a wine from Thailand before and this was surprisingly serious and well-made. Tasted blind this could have been from Southern France.

  December 17, 2011 - My very first impression in the nose was fresh green pepper, cantaloupe and some Thai basil. Loads of freshness and intriguing salty scents. The same happens in my mouth plus some lime, a bit of lemon grass, some black pepper, sea salt and a hint of creaminess (approx.. 20% were in used oak). I get a rather crude, but very lively, fresh and vitalizing impression of this wine. It isn`t charming or contrived! It is spicy, rather hard, salty, slightly bitter, very dry and almost a bit violent (in a positive way – if there is a positive violence?). The alcohol is fine (13%) maybe almost a bit strong. On the other hand this last impression might be influenced by the rather unique style of Colombard (?). I definitely can imagine this wine along Thai food. A statement I don’t use that often, because normally I don’t see the necessity to combine various East Asian cuisines with wine. I guess the best combination might be with Khmer pepper (not chili) dishes, mildly drunken food from China or green tea based dishes from Yunnan. Over the last 5 to 10 years I had several Thai wines. I think my conclusion for today is: they are getting better and better...
  QPR in Europe is OK, in Thailand very questionable.
