Today I started my journey in wine appreciation. I consciously tried to taste the wines I was drinking and started taking notes. I hope this is a journey that would take me to many interesting destinations...
1993 Ducru-Beaucaillou - opened at home after dinner. My first Ducru in quite a while. Very soft and smooth tannins. Finish a bit short. With breathing the spicy aromas came out. Thoroughly enjoyed by all. Bought from Watson's for HKD 475.
1995 Le Dauphin du Chateau Guiraud - my first experience with Sauternes. Smell of acetone was strong, a bit unpleasant for the uninitiated. Also smells of moss, pear, vanilla and oak.
Note to self: always make sure you end with the best wine, not start with it!
