| - | * **Blind Western** (14 I 19): Nose very intense, very fermented? Not fruity, really more oriental fermented flavours. A bit leathery. Taste-wise, it's the most satisfying of the bunch (Fenghuang Dancong Shuixian and Yingzhi Hongxin). What gave it away was the very intense **fermented nose**. | ||
| - | * **Western** (6 II 19): deep nose, clay, stonefruit kernels, roasted, leather (light). oh yes, this is shuixian, woody, bolt, fruity. this particular one quite woody, indeed; almost incensed. I find it almost a bit too much! Balsamic vinegar in the back. | ||
