  Theme: Interesting (Pine Close): Tasted blind. From a 187ml bottle that sadly was consumed so fast, because this was oh so good.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, amber colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, pronounced intensity, with wonderful aromas of sweet smoky meat - Bak Kwa! Also luo han guo, concentrated strawberry, and spice. Developing.
  On the palate, sweet and balanced off with high acidity, totally not cloying at all. Medium- alcohol (10.5%). Full body. Pronounced flavor intensity, with flavours of bak kwa, luo han guo, concentrated strawberries, stewed cranberries, ultra-ripe cherries...you get the drift. Like some opulent candy sweet that melts in the mouth of a kid, with the sinful adult addition of smoke and meat. Long finish.
  Very good quality sweet wine. Good even on its own. Organic wine.

  Deep red but surprisingly transparent, the nose was a gamey aroma dominated by iodine and smoky bacon, which increases the longer it's open. Tart, briny grapes with the meat flavor shining through. Certainly not overly sweet or cloying, with the meaty elements being the most obvious characteristic. Not what you think of when you think dessert wine but I really enjoyed it. Light ant meaty to sum it up.
