1997 Chateau Musar Blanc
Community Tasting Note
Goldstone Likes this wine:
Tuesday, September 17, 2019 - Ch. Musar Dinner with Marc Hochar (The Bunker, Crown Wine Cellars, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): Pre-decanted for around 6 hours by Marc Hochar. Colour is a very deep copper Sauternes. Nose is a pronounced copper metallic on entry then lanolin and subsequently fresh hazelnuts. With extended time in the glass the nose turns into the scent of Jasmine on a warm summer evening....which is why these wines need such long decanting. Palate is very rounded but still high acidity yet it mellows beautifully in the mouth as it warms. Still very young.....I thought Marc said it was only released last year but there seem to be CTer notes going back to 2002. Heady finish with a growing resonance. This seems to have the material to evolve positively for 20+ years. But great now with a very long decant.
