First Aussie sweet wine

A pair of Bordeaux reds
1993 Ducru-Beaucaillou - opened at a friend's house after dinner. It was not as good as my previous bottle. Much more tannic and vegetal. Bought from Watson's for HKD 475.
1992 Calon-Segur - my friends opened this from their cellar, and it was a lot more forward, sweeter nose, and intense spicy flavors.

1995 Climens
1995 Climens - opened at home after dinner. My first good Sauternes. Too young, as nose is a bit pungent. Needs cellaring. Bought from Watson's for HKD 288.
