5 Decades of Ch. Musar Blanc.... with Serge & Marc Hochar (Dining Room, Aberdeen Marina Club, Hong Kong): Tasted blind amongst 12 vintages. Semi-dark Sauternes-like copper gold in colour. (revealed as the 2nd- oldest wine but impossible to have guessed that blind from the colour). Nose is immediately mellow, beautifully harmonied deeper scale piano notes and a super honeyed but taut element…completely alluring and mesmerizing. Gosh…I’m having a moment! Palate is immediately transporting…taut, burnt caramel and superb balancing acidity. Crushed rocks in the background stop you from thinking that you are in Sauternes territory. Oh gosh…. this is fantastic and is a clear step up from any of the other wines on the night. I’m in reveries. Totally brilliant. A view shared by almost everyone when it scored a resounding 1st among 12.

Sadly, this particular bottle had some serious bacterial growth.

HKWS tasting - 5 decades of Musar Blanc with Serge Hochar (Hong Kong): Gold. Ethereal, lifted, smoky , lingering, tart structure, very fresh and rich. Similar to the 2001. Not showing age.
Wine of the night - came first. 4 firsts, 3 second, no last, 57 points.
Personal 2nd.
