Jancis: "Grace is the leading winery in China, vineyards south of Beijing, but owners looking for new sites. This is the best Chinese wine I've tasted. If it came out of a French bottle labelled Chateau no-one would be surprised. Smells very respectable, very Bordeaux like. The Chinese will go their own way, they have a great understanding of flavours."
Me: Good colour, light bodied not much fruit -- definitely old world style, very claret-like.
