We went for late supper the other day with friends and this was the wine line-up that night. I had already blogged about the Ma Maison Pinot Noir before, and its appearance in the line-up was purely for the novelty value of its Hong Kong connection. Then again, it is not a bad New Zealand Pinot Noir and is fine to go with Chinese food generally.
The Gruaud-Larose second wine was next for drinking and it was nice with a flowery fruity nose and a pruney acid palate spiced with a touch of wood. I suppose the Leeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet would have shown better if it went before the claret. As it was, although there was fruit, acid and wood ere evident in both nose and palate in a fairly balanced structure, it failed to shine after the Sarget, which was a pity for a Langton classified wine.
