Friday, June 22, 2018 - Drank this at Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine to celebrate a fellow wine mate's birthday.

Dark orange to light brown in colour, giving the age of the wine away. On the nose there are notes of tea leaves, orange peel, plums, incense, young strawberries and herbal notes. On the palate the primary have all but faded, replaced by bark, tobacco, cherries and orange peel.

Smooth, delicate with some levels of intensity, this wine has really aged gracefully over the last 40 years. Very rare to get an old wine of such quality. Overall the nose has performed better than the palate, and impressively the wine is still pleasant and charming after all this years.

A very refined wine with beautiful flora notes and feminine style.
