February 10, 2019 - Chinese New Year (Gen Hoe): CNY. Courtesy of JB. For my palate, this is well over the hill. Candly apple, sherry, butterscotch and more sherry. I suspect only bottles in very cold cellars will still be showing well at this point.

December 2, 2014 - Very lush and unctuous wine with wonderful tropical fruits. No signs oxidation or fading, but still time to drink up.

April 5, 2013 - Rich and unctuous. Tropical fruit with hazelnuts and lychee. Very thick with a long finish. Won't get any better but really at the top of its game. I have 1 bottle left and I hope its more like this bottle than the previous reviews!
