Her Mir Tage

Henry Jayer certainly live up to his name!

The wine possesses a profound, healing, oriental herbal bouquet. It's not like fresh mint or basil; it's more like opening a traditional apothecary cabinet filled with premium Chinese Angelica Root (Dāngguī), Astragalus (Huángqí), and dried lily bulbs, or walking through a damp forest after the rain, with scents of ginseng, licorice root, and dried citrus peel warming the air, all interwoven with the luxurious undertones of black truffle and moist earth. It's an aroma that evokes serenity, warmth, and nourishment.

Upon first opening, it presented an aroma of traditional Chinese herbs. After breathing in the glass for half an hour, the wine truly began to unfold, releasing intense notes of red fruits, woody fragrances, and those distinctive herbal nuances. The body is a remarkable fusion of elegance and power. Despite its age, the 1988 vintage retains a finely structured and layered profile, with a clean palate and velvety, silky-smooth tannins. The finish is exceptionally long, evoking the delicate scent of morning dew on bamboo leaves. Overall, it’s an utterly captivating wine that leaves one truly enchanted.

Mid body. It is better to decant it for more than one hour to show its feature. Transparent color. Red rich fruits. 2017 @1000, Kping - Oriental, 210127-220130 — 4 years ago

Black candied amarena cherries dipped in melted bitterchocolate. Wow…
Complex nuances of asphalt, damp earth, soy sauce and oriental spice. Open and generous, wonderful freshness and purity. Not alcoholic at all, this is an extremely well-crafted and beautiful Port wine. 😍 — 4 years ago

Dense, dark, brambly fruit, bitterchocolate, mocca and oriental spice; soft tannines and judicious use of oak make this a wonderful wine to drink now. Delicious!

Wow…. Wonderful….!
Tropical flowers and fruit, honey, lanolin, botrytis, dust, hints of tobacco, mossy rocks and dashes of sexy mysterious oriental spice. Opulent and persistent on the palate, great acidity and beautiful bitterness to balance out the sweetness.
Superb now and throughout the next decade. — 4 years ago
