It's a seriously underrated wine IMHO.

Not by me. Been drinking periodically over the years when I can’t get La Tour (where we had a personal tour in the 80’s). I remember the Chatau La Tour we had first in restaurant in Alfriston East Sussex around 1979 when I was post doc at Sussex, ( my uncle was visiting and it cost £25, and at Eastwell manor in Sussex for Xmas in 2009 for £250).

Too expensive now but Les Forts is approachable. Les Forts used to be cheap.

Had this memorable bottle in HK in 2014. Also picked up a magnum of the 2009 a while back when Vintage Cellars had a 20% off sales. The Shenton Park store used to have quite a decent cellar back then.

An unusual one....it survived the journey back home in my suitcase, Rmo-Vie-Fco-Hel-Hkg--Mel-Syd!

State Enterprise Quality Wines Industrial Complex “Milestii Mici”

Far from the borders of republic there is a well-known appreciated and preferred production of the "MILEŞTII MICI" Winery, the oldest place of storage of the “holy drink”. The place which keeps the miracle of Milestii Mici.

Can't imagine too many complaints with this line up?!

The decanter special at QF F lounge in MEL this week.



And QF F lounge in SIN had something even more special!

Incredibly salinity and nuttiness. Added benefit that it's like Aeroguard in that it keeps pests like @JohnM away

Hospital stay is getting worse?

Hospital stay is getting worse?

Just as well it's not a red wine. That would truly be a bad sign!

We went to Flemings in El Segundo in California for lunch and did two testers of wine. One was a cab sav by Daou which was not good enough for a whole glass. I think Southcorp may have picked that line up by mistake as I don’t rate it at all.
I went for the Zinfandel which was way better. Now lunch at Flemings was not busy and we both had their brilliant steaks.
