Ao Yun 2019

This Cabernet-based blend from the north of China has been at the top of all wine critics' ratings and scores for years. With 96 out of 100, this wine is the Chinese wine with the highest score of all in this vintage. So if you want to know how far Chinese wine has come in international comparison: here away o. Cabernet Sauvignon based (67%) with other Bordeaux grape varieties and 10% Syrah, this is the first year without Merlot. The nose has cassis, dark cherry, blueberry coulis and a slight sage undertone. Only around a third of new wood is in marvellous harmony with the impulsive fruit and present acidity. A wine for the next decade - and always elegant.
