Jolivet and Clos Venturi

Dinner at Leela.

Bollinger Special Cuvée - good acidity but pretty simple and flat on the palate. Later on this showed a little bit of Chinese salted plums.

2023 Pascal Jolivet Blanc Fumé - nose was very flinty with lots of tropical fruits and stone fruits. More ripeness here than expected.

Chinese yellow wine (雙鍋花雕) - this was so, soooo rich and sweet! I absolutely loved how unctuous and sweet it was on the palate. The nose was very lovely with plenty of savory and fermented notes along with a hint of smoke. I could drink this all day.

2020 Clos Venturi Le Clos Rouge - the nose was very minty with lots of fragrant and exotic spices. So interesting. But also had metallic notes.
