Purchased at restaurant, very young wine with limited flavor profile, still rather closed when we drank the remainder of the bottle at home the next day; needs several more years to mature. Will definitely improve with age.

Purchased at restaurant and drank half bottle. Not impressed, not much character, tasted somewhat flat and sweet. Corked the remainder and took home. Evacuated air in bottle with vacuum pump and let sit for 3 days; much better now, a bit more depth, sweetness abated. Initial score in the low 80's; after sitting under vacuum for 3 days, raised to 88.

This wine left my palate a bit confused, it was both sweet and dry at the same time, so semi-dry/semi-sweet? It was certainly drinkable and went well with Chinese food, but ultimately not very satisfying.
