Community Tasting Notes 2

  February 20, 2013 - 5 Decades of Ch. Musar Blanc.... with Serge & Marc Hochar (Dining Room, Aberdeen Marina Club, Hong Kong): Tasted blind amongst 12 vintages. Beautiful medium-yellow gold colour. An immediately gorgeous and luxuriant nose with harmonious powerful oak and complex fruit that made you think more of a red than a white wine. Superb crisp acidity on the initial palate and wonderful, vibrant complexity of white fruits, subtle marzipan and wisps of temple smoke. Very resonant on the finish. This had the best nose and the best palate of the first 6 wines tasted and ended up as my 2nd of the 12. However, nearly everyone else thought their 1966 was shot: glasses of theirs I tried seemed to confirm there had been a mix-up (although you never know with Musar). I scored this 93 points but have left it unrecorded in the circumstances. Interestingly, the 1967 was the hands-down wine of the tasting…. so clearly, the 1966 has the potential for being still a great wine.
