Taoxi Yongchun 1953 Old Vinegar for Savoury Depth Review

Taoxi Yongchun Cellar-Kept 1953 Old Vinegar 350ml is the bottle to reach for when a quick supper needs depth rather than noise. This Yongchun old vinegar has a dark, glossy pour, with a mellow tang and a woody, almost caramel scent that sits beautifully with dumplings, noodles, braised pork or roasted aubergine. For shoppers in France who already keep balsamic or vinaigre de cidre to hand, it offers a distinctly Chinese black vinegar character; the trade-off is that its richness can overwhelm very delicate salads.
