Wine Expert Note:

Ao Yun is a prestigious wine produced in the remote region of Shangri-La, located in the Yunnan province of China. On the nose, this wine offers a complex and captivating bouquet. Aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and black cherry, intertwined with hints of violet and dried herbs. Subtle notes of tobacco and cedar add further depth and complexity to the aromatic profile. Ao Yun delights the palate with its full-bodied and velvety texture. The wine's well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the vibrant acidity contributes to its overall freshness. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate dominate the palate, accompanied by a touch of spice and a lingering finish. Ao Yun is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. It will continue to evolve and develop additional complexity over the years, rewarding those who have the patience to cellar it.
