Wine level was high neck, cork was clean and intact. Residue +. The wine was aired for 2 hours prior to tasting. Colour of wine was medium red with brownish rim. Light berry aroma with a tinge of herb. The first mouthful before food was slightly astringent.
Food included Bird's nest Soup, Stir Fried Shark's Fin, Salt roasted chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Canton Beef Pate and Almond Tea.
Wine improved significantly after food, became crisp on the palate and the fruit came through. There was moderate body with some earthy tones. Finish was short. This wine should be drank now, further cellaring is not recommended.

Rating: Good
