mineral-inflected and much firmer finish

the Fac-Simile is positively stellar

An exceptionally fresh nose is again markedly floral while offering a broader array of fruit and discreet spice nuances

dried flowers and honeyed pears

There is just enough reduction present to blur the nuances of the fresh and cool aromas of citrus peel and various floral elements

Silver Heights, Emma's Reserve other_regions_italy mineral-inflected and much firmer finishFull bottle a heavy 1,645 g. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot. Emma Gao's top red. Luscious, subtle mature ruby. Lightly resinous nose and very pleasing, ripe, bordeaux blend nose. Clean and surprisingly fresh for a 15% wine, with light leafiness. Sweet start, no shortage of fresh acidity, this is really very creditable. Just the sort of wine to give to people doubtful about whether China can produce decent wine. Long and very respectable indeed.
