Friday, October 16, 2015 - A Magnum drunk at Amuse Bouche Hong Kong together with '34 Cheval Blanc. I have owned this Magnum for 6 years. It was originally supplied by O.W. Loeb and the occasion to compare it to the '34 Cheval Blanc was the perfect opportunity to open this wine. As is often the case with magnums the wine opened slowly but soon began to show those leafy Lafite characteristics. Once it had revealed itself there was no holding this wine back. The clarity was sparkling and on the palate the wine performed like something 50 years its junior. Indeed it was mistaken for "something from the '80s" on the night. There is nothing quite like old claret when it delivers.
