Community Tasting Note

  June 1, 2012 - Five Decades of Chateau Musar....with Serge Hochar (Shanghai Room, Langham Place Hotel, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong): Tasted blind as one of 12 vintages over 5 decades. Small serving. By far the darkest in colour....a semi-transparent purple-red. Nose is very young, closed and still oak-dominated with just a touch of black peppercorn. Palate is very, very sweet fruit and Turkish Delight...it tastes just about integrated but craves a good few more years in the bottle to unfurl. As Serge observed, it isn't really yet ready for drinking. His rule is "keep until 15 years old" and this is good evidence. My #9, group's #4.
