World's Greatest, Hong Kong - Night II (Garden Suite, Peninsula Hotel): [Magnum] Spectacular nose, big reduction, smoke, lemon curd, lemongrass, incredibly fresh and clean. The ‘83 and ‘85 are neck and neck. Amazing. I think the ‘83 might have a little more vibrancy whereas the ‘85 has a little more buttery weight. This palate has rich and dens yellow fruit plus more energy and tension than the ‘85. Mineral definition. Everything I want in white burgundy both on the nose and palate. Extremely showy, and knocking down most of the old Ramonet Montrachets tonight, in my opinion.

Celebrating LKM's 60th birthday at the Lobby, Peninsula.
First 83 Chevy for me, taken out from 14'C cellar and first traveled 5km. Served slightly chilled in room temp of 22'C.
Dark yellow colour. Oaky and forest nose fade as it goes, later replaced by more honey citrus. Refined month feel with a medium plus body, decent finish. The wine is on the sweet side and was still going well at the end of 3 hours dinner.

Very good bottle. Still displaying brightness and bringing a transparency of character.

Very full across the palate, with good breadth but receding depth. Consistent with other recent bottles.
