Served on EVA Air. Light floral nose, clean. Sweet and smooth on the entry, still tannins on the mid-palate. Spicy and bitter chocolate finish. Slightly over-extracted but no heat at finish.

Black fruit and bold richness. Female wine maker, I am being told this reflects on the wines. 18 months in barrel with 60% new oak. And the oak and the rasiny richness shows through on the palate. To me a bit over at around $50. But soft richness there. Maybe I need to go back...

UCGB tasting Bordeaux 2011 (Amsterdam): Juicy red and dark fruits, some bell peppers ok acidity and tannin. Already approachable and beautiful wine with a good length, but not belonging to the best wines of the vintage. 88 for now. Try in 2018 or later.

Tasted at Vinexpo Asia 2014
Full of sweet red fruits on the nose, flowery, impressive! Simple palate, sufficient amounts of fruits in it!
