La Scala Restaurant

Wine notes: Chateau Coutet 2003

Rating: 92/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 127, July/August 2006. Bright yellow-gold. Sexy aromas of orange liqueur and spices. Sweet, round and pure, with a lush texture verging on unctuous. And yet this is wonderfully aromatic and light on its feet. Very ripe and very complex in the mouth, with harmonious acids framing the flavors of orange oil, peach and spicy oak. Finishes very long, ripe and seamless, with lingering notes of oaky vanilla and spice. This has been a knockout since the outset.

Rating: 95 - As reviewed by Wine Spectator on March 2066 General

Charles Heidsieck BdB Brut 1995

Sukhothai Hotel Bangkok A lightly honeyed nose, with slightly high-toned aromas of polished wood, nutty complexity and mature, dried white fruits. A lovely palate follows, showing fresh character and a mature, elegant seam of richness. A lovely, clean and clearly defined style. A very vinous, appealing, wine which has developed nicely over recent years. Nudging excellence - 92 Points
