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.

1998 Petaluma

Dinner at Wolf.

1998 Petaluma Coonawarra - not bad. Still not completely like a typical Aussie.

1993 Ducru

Dinner at Latata in Taipei.

1993 Ducru-Beaucaillou - pretty classic Bordeaux, I must say. Plenty of tobacco, minerals, earth, with fruit core, although not sweet enough. Still enjoyable to drink, and the tannins were fairly smooth.

Bought from Watson's for HKD 439.

1999 Joseph Drouhin

Drinks at Sixth Avenue in Taipei.

1999 Joseph Drouhin Aloxe-Corton - not bad. A bit sharp on the nose due to the alcohol, but fruity enough to be a little sexy. Medium body, tannins firm for a young Burgundy.

1998 Beringer Sbragia

Dinner at Calina.

1998 Beringer Chardonnay Sbragia Limited Release - easy to drink. Mineral nose, but it lacked the buttery, fatty palate. This had a short mid-palate while having a long finish.

Bought from the winery for USD 40.
