	<description><![CDATA[This was an impressive Merlot that was introduced by the sommelier of IndoChine at Empress Place. A rich aroma which was not over-powering, and a balanced palate of firm blackcurrents, plums with a haunting lingering finish that was mild and delightful.

	<dc:creator>winedragon</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[-  Got this bottle at the Carrefour wine fair, felt it was a steal for a 750ml bottle at a reasonable price of $29 only. However, comparing it with the rest of the classified growths of Sauternes, it is still enjoyable to drink but pales in intensity and flavour.Smell : Fruit ripen citrus lemon, some coying honeyTaste : Almost like a light orange-lemon juice. Touch of …]]></description>

Nice reddish brick colour in the glass.Smell : Heavy fumes of intense dark fruit, chocolate and alcohol.Taste : Smooth, flavoursome with cherry/cherry skins. But unbalanced with over-weightage on alcohol.After taste : Tinge of oak, cocoa/vanilla and fine bitter tannins.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[-Brought this wine at the DFS shop in Auckland Airport NZ. Understand that most of the New Zealand Ice Wines are actually grapes which are picked first and then frozen in a freezer, as opposed to those like Germany's Eiswein which actually freeze on the vine.

	<description><![CDATA[-I suspect that this bottle was purchased from DFS, it is a limited release with a bottle number 47076 (quick go and buy 4-D with it!). In all honesty, I am not the biggest fan of Jacob's Creek after tasting their wine at a local restaurant many years ago.
