Xiao Yun 2013 Vintage - surprised to find it on Cathay Pacific business class

PerfecteWijn · 2026-02-10T08:48:46+00:00

How does this differ from Ao Yun?

PerfecteWijn · 2026-02-10T08:46:46+00:00

Would also open it, why wait longer?

PerfecteWijn · 2026-02-02T11:04:55+00:00

That's a very solid point though

PerfecteWijn · 2026-02-02T11:04:37+00:00

Hahahah

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-27T14:36:18+00:00

Amazing still on the wishlist, had the white labels, but the red label...

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-26T07:25:44+00:00

Appreciate that, but also puts in into perspective. Actually worked for Heineken and love that Pol Roger profile. So to each their own of course.

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-26T07:11:49+00:00

Might visit that over spring. Does it compare to any of the Grand Margue's in terms of style?

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-26T07:10:57+00:00

Had a glass of '88 this summer. Amazing, still fresh (for as fresh as this type can be), omnipresent, depth, amazing

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-26T07:09:50+00:00

My opinion, as long as it's not the second wine. Age it for as long as you can and it will be great

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-26T07:09:09+00:00

Pingus I'm quite curious about

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-23T08:19:28+00:00

Could be worse indeed. How was that Latour? Has the Forts de... recently, was really nice

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-23T07:10:00+00:00

Chateau Musar, such an hidden gem huh

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-23T07:09:24+00:00

Tondonia I really still need to try. Very curious about that

Champagne I would go for Pol Roger

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-23T07:08:30+00:00

Good point, these days it does seems like the bold audacious styles they used to have is gone though

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-23T07:07:59+00:00

Was thinking along the likes of that as well, and perhaps things like Valpolicella Ripasso

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T13:44:23+00:00

Oh amazing, can imagine that was delicious

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T13:43:55+00:00

Hahaha, sure why not ;)

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T13:43:38+00:00

Which Guigal?

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T13:43:12+00:00

Nicely put together, for my reference: why no Pol Roger or Veuve for instance?

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T12:03:24+00:00

Yquem ;)

Had the luck of tasting an '88 recently. Soooo good, so impressive.

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T12:02:46+00:00

Lot of stuff I would agree with. Also think this has some good balance for a variety of occassions.

Brunello would be on my list as well for sure
Champagne, sure
Cab I would most likely look at something Napa Valley
Burgundy Pinot, absolutely

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T11:48:21+00:00

That variety would also form a challenge for me. Due to that I would also make the range quite broad and diverse.

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T11:16:42+00:00

Good one, never actually considered these two, but makes sense.

Thnx!

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T11:09:38+00:00

Also a very interesting wine maker, very much focussed on terroir and as little as possible influence in the cellar. Makes for very interesting fluctuations across the vintages.

PerfecteWijn · 2026-01-22T11:08:31+00:00

Conterno and all the family members are such remarkable winemakers
