🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【A sensuous wine of beauty, even in a challenging vintage, known for its generous and supple style】. The 1987 Bordeaux vintage was an average year, producing lighter, early-maturing wines, tragically marred by torrential rains at harvest. Most wines from this vintage are likely past their prime, being thin, dilute, and unripe by 10-15 years of age. Expect a mature, delicate profile with faded dark fruit, hints of dried flowers, and earthy notes, reflecting its age and the lighter style of the 1987 vintage. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This mature Bordeaux pairs beautifully with classic Cantonese roasted goose or char siu, where its delicate fruit and earthy notes can complement the savory richness without overpowering. For Western cuisine, consider lighter red meats like roasted duck breast with a berry reduction, or mushroom-based dishes that echo its tertiary aromas. 🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH This is a contemplative wine, best suited for a quiet evening with a seasoned collector or a special anniversary for those who appreciate the nuances of aged Bordeaux. For this older vintage, kindly be reminded of potential issues with the cork and capsule. Decant carefully to separate any sediment. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F) in a large glass to allow it to open up gently.
