This is still a work in progress as I upload tasting notes and wine labels from as far as 1999... Check back once in a while to get the updates.

Leeuwin Cab and Latour

Dinner at Morton's.

1996 Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series - not a bad wine. Very new world and firm, concentrated. Much better than expected.

Bought from Remy for HKD 265.

1975 Latour - this is a notiriously hard wine. I double-decanted at home. The tannins are now smooth and velvety, but there was a curious lack of fruit. Nose was smoky and of grilled meats, but a bit disappointing. Was it decanted for too long, or simply dried out?

Drinking at home.

1996 De Bortoli Noble One, from half bottle - althought this wasn't bad, I can understand why some peole think this wine is overrated.

Bought from Bacchus for SGD 36.
