Probably oaky as hell.
 
Best quote from the article: "Ao Yun is produced in a protected microclimate (well, microclimates, plural) in a region not too dissimilar from Bordeaux."

That is aside from topography, altitude, weather variation, local culture, maritime influence and most likely soil. But it's probably more similar to Bordeaux than Manaus, Yakutsk or Bamako.
 
I was a big fan of the tasting instructions:

"Take out of your wine cellar, put into a large decanter for 30 minutes, then pour back in the bottle and replace in the cellar for two and a half hours. Serve at around 61 degrees."

You can always start by building a butt-ugly, ginormous house and then filling it will all sorts of expensive wines. I bet you can still find '45 RC in Jeroboams at an unnamed auction house.

In today's world, a fool and his money simply get richer.

Well, as it is from "almost certainly the highest elevation at which a wine has ever been produced", we can just wait for Oswaldo to try it.

I am a fool, have a butt-ugly house, and it has some wine. OTOH, it's not ginormous, and I didn't build it. And I refuse to buy wine from auction houses, even if I could afford it.

Also still flummoxed at "not too dissimilar from Bordeaux." I don't recall any 8500 ft elevations, either. Perhaps I slept through that part of the tour.

That must not be the web site for me.

I’ve grown afraid of heights.
