2013 Ao-Yun, Shangri-La, China Size:75cl Richard Hemming MWA true first. The first fine Chinese wine. In the glass this is inky purple, it just looks like a fine Cabernet. Aromas of perfectly ripe fresh blackcurrant and redcurrant leap from the glass with notes of five spice, a little blackcurrant leaf, fresh coffee and just a note of something more savoury beneath. On the palate this is super fine, it is cool, erudite and urbane. The finish is longer and finer than many a traditional Claret Ive tasted this
