Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 31, 2009 - Lo Hei potluck with 1999 Bordeaux and other wines (Alex's place): Pretty enough nose, with peach, flowers, musk, some sweet nectar, pineapple and orange zest, undergirded with just a bit of dirty earthiness. I thought Alsace Gewurz at first, but the palate really threw me off. It some typical lychee and rather lowish acidity, but it had an oily, heavy texture with quite a bit of hear weaving in and out of peach and flower flavours, and a touch of grapefruity acidity at the end. Rather tropical - most of us thought Pinot Gris instead. An okay wine, but the heat was disturbing and I found this to be just rather imbalanced and disjointed at the edges. Not too had with the Lo Hei and live abalone though.
