Farewell dinner for our apartment with friends. Great times and great wine in the two years we stayed at our place. Thank you everybody for bringing and tasting so many different wines.
2000 Chateau Kirwan - Bought half a case several years ago. Although this was almost the last wine for a long night, everyone enjoyed it. Complex, dark color, strong black fruit, tannins and long finish. Looking forward to drinking it in a few years time again.
1999 Hetszolo Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos - Great value for money at around HKD400.00, Great Tokaji, sweet, honey put well balanced. Remember visiting Hungray during September and going to the wine / Tokaji festival at the castle up the hill. Tried over 20 Tokajis at really reasonable prices. Fireworks, coldcuts, the castle, great people and Tokaji, Europeans sure now how to enjoy life!
2002 Chateau Moulin Saint Georges - Friend brought this. At price of around HKD300, very good St. Emilion. Smooth, cherries, little tannin, ready to drink.
2006 Cat Amongst the Pigeons Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Shiraz Grenache - Superb value for money. Bursting with fruit yet well balanced. Around HKD140 for each bottle but feels like a HKD300+ wine. My favorite is the Shiraz Grenache, also called the Alley Cat. Can buy the wine in Kowloon City. Excellent!
2003 Chateau Haut Brisson - You find this at many restaurants. Requires some time befores open up. Reasonably good St. Emilion Grand Cru.
