TASTING NOTES

Wei Xing MW

Obviously leafy but with good fruit on the nose (and also in the mouth). A good intensity, with chewy high tannins, warming alcohol, and slightly obvious acid, but a really good finish.

Tim Tiptree MW

Opaque ruby. A restrained nose with an earthy, tea leaf and herbal character dominating the fruit. A full-bodied dry red with drying tannins on the finish.

Yohann Jousselin MS

A very approachable style, with a very nice evolution of the fruit profile. A lovely intensity of black fruits, with great acidity. The oak is a bit too dominant, but overall, a pretty wine.

Meiyu Li

Very strong, powerful, and structured on the palate, big. As a 5-year-old, still very young. Needs time to age.
