Summer Dreamer: Un nez très expressif, floral et parfumé. En bouche l’attaque est sur les fruits rouges (framboises, cassis) mais on découvre rapidement une grande complexité, sur une texture soyeuse. L’acidité est en arrière-plan, aucun tannin ou note d’élevage dérangeante. On demeure sur des arômes primaires, avec peu d’arômes secondaires ou tertiaires, mais du primaire de grand vin. Une grande complexité et une finale très longue. Excellent!

Chú Xī (除夕) Dinner at Home for Chinese New Year (Our House, Hong Kong): Briefly decanted and then immediately served as a final wine of the evening over post-dinner conversation.....so perhaps not done full justice. Deep cherry-red semi-translucent colour. Nose is a big whoosh of Durian and bicycle inner tube with the french chalk. Palate is surprisingly open for business but still quite tart: classic tart strawberries, black cherry and red cherry of a young Grand Cru CDB..... but more approachable than would be normal at this age. Almost petillant on the back end of the palate. Young but enjoyable. This will develop a lot of heft over the next 10-15 years and will become a much better wine but it's still quite fun to drink now. 91 with a lot of upward potential.

Grand Cru party at Tavastgatan: Very expressive nose. Fluffy, fine, mature, sweet, luxurious fruit.
