  Aged Drouhin wine dinner at Hua Ting. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru and Rona.
  Appearance is cloudy, pale intensity, ruby-garnet colour. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of hawthorne, dark meat, masculine earth, black cherries, dark red cherries. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), super silky smooth medium- tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet hawthorne, savoury dark earth, stony minerality, elegant dark red cherries, dark herbs with a tinge of medicinal Ling Yang. Super smooth mouth-feel. Very long finish.
  Excellent quality. Drinking at peak. Yes this was old, but oh so good. Never expected this to be from a rainy soft weak vintage.

  Was a little muted and metallic on pop-and-pour. Very light in color and in the mouth. Took an hour or two to come to life, but when it did, it really started singing. Strawberry candy and violets with a background of sous bois morphed into dark black cherry and cola notes and back again over the next hour or two. Super enjoyable, but the fruit and acidity were JUST enough to carry this through the evening, I'd drink now if you have any.
