Style | Eternity

Getting off on Pomerol's ground floor with this 2011 vintage from Clos l'eglise. In recent years, this estate has been overshadowed (particularly in Greater China) by the more feted wines in the Garcin family portfolio (e.g. Clinet); yet the style remains a curvaceous, crowd pleasing and surprisingly fresh style. 📷: @alison.chow . . . . . #VSCO #vscocam #merlotcabernetfranc

Put my shallow contrarian tendencies aside and finally drank #TheSagan Kool-Aid. So glad I did, these are effortlessly stylish. People often ascribe descriptors to suede such as "buttery" and I finally understand what they're on about. Ordered via @thearmouryhk: excellent service as always! . . . #VSCO #vscocam #tilesofinstagram (at Brew Bros Coffee)

Me: "How often does one have the opportunity to wear 400g flannel in Hong Kong?" RK: "Look, speaking optimistically I'd say less than a month. If you're after something more practical I'd sugge-" Me: "I'LL TAKE IT." . . . . #VSCO #vscocam #ifitsnotfoxitsnotflannel #propercloth

BTS #1 - got a fee chuckles in speaking to Sebastian Comerso, Executive Sous Chef at @bluebutcher. *In newsboy timbre* read all about it in the Nov issue of @gafencumagazine. . . . 📷: @gigi.ip #gafencu #livelifeinstyle (at Blue · Butcher & Meat Specialist)

Spot of Portugese for me and my lady friend at revived LKF staple @casalisboa, highlighting both regional Porto cooking and classic Spanish dishes. . . . #VSCO #vscocam (at Casa Lisboa Gastronomia Portuguesa)

Traditionally, Mid-Autumn calls for two staples: chicken meat & seasonal fruits. I'd say we adequately covered the latter; courtesy of Burgundy (Maison Leroy) & Bordeaux (Chateau Talbot). Also pictured: A.Chow's rather good strong G&T! . . . #VSCO #1999 #2007

It's been highly rewarding seeing the various manifestations of the @trunktailors team's improving eye . Balanced, tastefully middle-of-the-road clothing is the name of the game. Case in point: my buddy @dylanrnash's excellent DB commission made up in @vitalebarberiscanonico1663 flannel. Particularly nice "track" margins and front balance! 📷: @clairjr. . . . #VSCO #vscocam #trunktailors

Although the Balvenie 15 Single (Sherry) Cask was released back in 2014, it's taken me some time to get around to experiencing it. Mark it, how cruel the wastest years! Matured exclusively in European ex-sherry butts, no more than 650 of these bottlings are drawn from a single cask p.a. Classic dessert notes appear here in full force: the nose heavy on malt & almonds; and the palette built upon milk chocolate. Unabashedly sweet - but I can't imagine a fan of Spanish sherry casks pursuing this without eagerly anticipating just such a heritage. . . . #tbt #VSCO #vscocam

Bit of Bourgogne badassery for @gracieng's birthday! The 2000 vintage from Domaine Confuron has a nose of blackcurrant, woody vanilla in the palette and extremely supple tannins. I'd tried the 2001 - with the assertion that would benefit from cellaring - before but this, its immediate predecessor, is good to drink now. #VSCO #vscocam (at Room28)
