Tiansai, Skyline of Gobi, Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, 2014, China
China can make some really good wines and this is a example of a really good drinking red wine. It’s stood the test of time quite well at 7 years it’s very drinkable, still it’s not particularly powerful but you do get lots of fruity notes with a little chocolate and leather. It’s a sort of wine you would open it a dinner party, partly for the novelty value, that it’s from China but because it’s so drinkable. Give it another 10 years and I reckon China’s going to be producing some world-class wines for the everyday drinking.
