Champagne and Kabinett

Ta Vie's 10th anniversary party at Forty-Five.

Mumm RSRV Cuvée 4.5, dégorgée en Septembre 2023 - easy to drink, good depth on the palate.

Dinner at The Bay by Chef Fei in Shenzhen.

2012 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, dégorgée en Fevrier 2020 - nice nose of marmalade. Very good depth on the palate, with acidity but also savory minerals. After further aeration the nose began to show some toasty notes.

1990 Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett - classic nose of petrol, polyurethane, orange blossom water, and lemon confit. Good acidity but more rounded and mellow on the palate. Drinking pretty nicely.
