Shangri-La Sacred Heart Sinong Village 2018.
This is a single village wine from the Yunnan region in China. An exceptional blend of 90% Cab Sauv. and 10% Cab Franc. Very aromatic and impressive layers of dark berry, cherry. Nice balance of wood and vainilla notes. Very leathery, chocolate and espresso notes. Long finish and resembles a Bordeaux Style, sort of Pauillac, as it is silky and smooth. — 2 years ago

Very well done, probably the best wine I had from China ever, please keep in mind that my experience is limited, well balanced, lots of black fruits, wood, earth, medium to full body, good acidity, well integrated tannins and a long balanced finish. My score 88+, drink to 2023 — 8 years ago

Approachable and resembles some Chards from Macôn Villages in Burgundy, France. — 2 years ago
Introduced to me by the sommelier at Bulgari Hotel Shanghai. The wine comes from a Xinjiang vineyard. Rkatsiteli (stands for “Red Stem”) is a grape from Georgia (Europe/Asia) for making white wine. It is surprisingly good. Crisp, leafy taste, sweet tasting (pear & coconut), mineral — 7 years ago
An excellent Riesling! If you were suspicious about NZ whites 20 years ago, well, life is a journey, full of discoveries, and China is a rather big country. hell, good food demands great wines. The rest is eurocentism and, worse, Porterism for wines. We had a blast! This Riesling (not a blend) is fresh, fruity, bright, balanced, fun, v drinkable w/o any undesirable aftertastes and leaving your head okay the morning after. A friend brought it from London, a 2017 harvest, and boy, were we suspicious? Then again: Coming from a 19th vineyard - how would they not know their thing? It‘s us not knowing their wines! — 8 years ago
