Louis Latour

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990

#winenight #taipei #louislatour #cortoncharlemagne #grandcru #burgundy paired with starter salad dish and flamed sashimi white fish.... 1990 and definitely showing age, which I personally really enjoy the caramel and butterscotch that's coming through, not in a foul way.... It's like a slick middle aged man not afraid to show his age... — 10 years ago

Penfolds

Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz

#winenight #taipei #aussiewine #shiraz #penfolds works surprisingly well as the first red, paired with a heavily black peppered fried chicken, and miso grilled pork belly — 10 years ago

Château Troplong Mondot

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

#winenight #taipei #bordeaux #troplongmondot very appropriate example of a matured Bordeaux showing why when a wine can be lovely and enjoyable the fruits go away and the wood/earth/leather come out to play. Paired well with a New York steak that was seared, sous vide's and then charred again. — 10 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2004

#winenight #taipei #sauternes #dyquem younger dyquems appeals more to the traditional Asian crowds where the ideal desert is one that is 'not too sweet' that there is still plenty of fruit and acidity but less viscosity and honey may seem adverse to how Sauternes are usually judges but in this cultural context works fine. — 10 years ago
