  September 28, 2019 - "Mr. & Mrs. White" Anniversary Dinner (Friends' Rooftop, Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong): Half-deep yellow gold. Very slightly oxidative nose, fresh almonds, lanolin, warm unobtrusive oak. Palate is rich, beeswax polish, buttery, very rounded. Lots of beeswax but without sweetness. Low to moderate acidity. Better with food (Iberico ham) but more a curiosity than something to write home about. Should have been drank at least 5 years ago. I declined a top-up.

  August 17, 2014 - Pretty much over and done with. Held this way too long. Blue cheese nose that decreased over time, hollowed out palate

  August 24, 2003 - Suzi, Eric and Sid's Trip to Italy; 8/21/2003-9/4/2003 (Tuscany & Bellagio, Italy): Dinner at Casabianca. I was assuming this was mostly Chardonnay, but every time I try to ask the waiter about the "varietal" or "grape" I instead get an expose on his descriptors for the wine. (Afterward I did found out this is 65% Chard and 35% Pinot Bianco.) Heavily oaked and smokey. This is very straightforward and somewhat over the top, but it does match well with a Pecorino custard.
