My last trip to 北京 was about 4 years ago. I did spend a whole month to walk around in the city. Of course I made a few trip in 胡同.... but I haven't written down any articles about this trip. If you would like to share your story of Bejing with B city, I will try hard to give you a bit of feed back.......... ^_*
I incidentially bought a bottle of POMEROL-Château La Conseillante the other day. The wine shop told me it is a real connoisseur's wine and very rare to find. Could you give me a brief review?
What a coincident? Last night we had Pauillac Chateau Haut-Batailley 96, Pcihon Longueville-Comtesse de Lalande 99, Pomerol Chateau L'Enclos 98, and we were talking about the Conseillante that we had tasted. The following is what I got form website for you.
A tremendous effort, and certainly the best La Conseillante since the marvelous duo of 1989 and 1990, this deep ruby/plum/purple-colored wine offers up notes of blackberries and kirsch liqueur intermixed with licorice, incense, spice box, and copious amounts of toasty oak. It is a relatively powerful effort for La Conseillante, with more tannin and structure than most vintages possess. As the wine sits in the glass, black raspberries, blueberries, smoke along with floral notes emerge. There is tremendous purity, medium to full body, great precision and concentration. Unlike most vintages of La Conseillante, the 2000 will require patience. A bottle kept open refused to oxidize until day six! Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025.
