China’s Noble Dragon is a long-established brand, and one that is growing in prominence around the world. In a blind tasting at ProWein, db set out to see how it stands up against the best in its class.
At ProWein last month, the drinks business hosted a blind tasting of wines from seven countries, and China’s Changyu Noble Dragon was selected as one of the top five of the global best-selling expressions. According to the results that were released after the tasting, three of the judges gave Changyu Noble Dragon a score of more than 90 points.
Patrick Schmitt MW, editor-in-chief of db, and the chairman of the panel, said: “Blind tasting is the most objective way to test the quality of wine, because everyone will focus on the wine itself by throwing away all external factors. According to the results, I must say that Changyu Noble Dragon performed very well.
“It is fruity and rich, and I believe that people who have tasted it will see the potential of Chinese wine.”
