China and Bordeaux

Dinner at Ho Lee Fook.

2022 Xige Jade Dove Rosé - the nose was pretty fragrant and fruity, nice and toasty.

2013 Ygrec - served 45 minutes after opening. Initial hit of glycerin with the nose being highly alcoholic, followed by flint and toasty notes.

2009 Clinet - started drinking about 1½ hours after decanting. Very nice on the nose with some smoke, lovely woodsy and minty notes. Good concentration on the palate but already rounded with some age.
