Brought this wine to Yunnan's (Westgate) for lunch with a very close ex-colleague. We had Braised Chicken Noodles with Dried Chilli, Stir Fried Wild Porcini Mushroom with Dried Chillies, Grilled Pork Trotters with Spices, and Sauteed Cabbage with Dried Chillies.
Ruby red in colour. Beautiful bouquet on the nose. Fragrant, with all the elements in harmony. Beautiful on the outside, but deep down lacks finesse and complexity. Does its job of matching with the food and keeping the diners engaged well.
Will store the other bottle for the next 5 years and wait to see how it evolves.

Pale gold in colour with a touch of cream. On the nose the wine is vibrant, with notes of unripe stone fruits.
Complex and finishes with a zing. Excellent QPR. Highly recommended.

Brought this wine to Cheng Hoo Thian for lunch with my elder sister. We had the Pork Trotter & Shark Meat Aspic, Oyster Omelette, Teochew Braised Duck and Yam Paste.
Gold in colour. Beautiful fragrance on the nose of white stone fruits. Reminds me of sunshine after the rain. A beautiful wine that is ideal for pairing with teochew food. Yummy!
