Community Tasting Note

Goldstone Likes this wine:

Friday, March 31, 2017 - My Birthday Dinner (Seasons By Olivier E., 3/F, Two Lee Gardens, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong): Decanted for 8 hours before serving with just totally mind-blowingly good two Alexandre Polmard 4kg rare tomahawks of Blanc de Limousin Charolais steaks especially flown in by Chef Olivier.

Befitting my deep love of Ch. Musar....and my agreement with CTers such as Rupert that this is possibly the best-ever vintage (except the impossible to find 1959).....it neatly refused to fit into my normal structure of note-taking:

Damson/lambs'-blood transparent red. Nose is 'wet socks' even after an 8-hour decant but it quickly segues into high-toned red proper Turkish Delight with all the spice and smoke smells you would associate with that even if you have never been to Turkey but had dreamed it on a Christmas Day in England......very high-toned piano notes, light but mega-powerful deep draughts of sonorous after-resonance.....like the "zap" in the ozone/electricity of an incoming English summer thunderstorm.

Hey, it's my birthday!
