  Atlanta Amoureuses & Monty Dinner: Not bad, but just not really there. Almost came across as watery after the last flight.

  Light brick, amber edges; red fruit nose, hints of wood, minerals, earth; mid-body; balanced; long smooth finish; lingering berry aftertaste. w/duck at wine dinner.

  2006 Burgundy Dinner (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): Wow. Somehow significantly better than the last bottle I had a couple of month back - this was a really delightful wine. It certainly had a showstopper of a bouquet - violets, dark cherries and blueberries, with a subtle backdrop of fragrant spice, all waiting out of the glass in beautiful, perfumy wafts. Very pretty. The palate was everything one would expect of an Amoureuses too - silky, slinky, with soft acidity and the finest tannins caressing deliciously pure flavours of dark cherries and red berries, all this infused with a little kiss of spice and florals. Elegant and entrancing, with an engaging amount of depth and structure to boot. Absolutely beautiful, with enough headroom to age nicely over the next few years as well.

  Les Amoureuses and Empurau Dinner (Jade Palace): Way, way too young. This had quality aplenty, and the sexy terroir was showing through, but the entire proceedings were rather overshadowed by new oak. It had a lovely nose, pretty flowers, red cherries, light touches of earth and spice, all rather flecked with a bit of vanilla. The palate also had a touch of wood, but once you got past that, there was a tremendous purity and transperancy to its elegant, slinky flavours of red cherries and berries. Pure feminine seduction. The finish was a touch full and sweet, feeling a bit plump and alcoholic, with a touch more wordiness, but there was also a pleasing dance of flower and spice flavours beyond that. Altogether, a really nice wine, but there were sloppy edges here and there. Age will help, but I am not sure how much. A nice wine though.

  Way, way too young. Very tight and funky nose. Darker fruits in the mouth, though this seemed a bit too low in acidity for the really long run.
