  Dark as strong tea. Dried fruit and raisin aromas, in addition to some oxidation. Good fruit and concentration, but rather tired.

  Chicken stock, peppermint. Savory yet fresh.

  5 Decades of Ch. Musar Blanc.... with Serge & Marc Hochar (Dining Room, Aberdeen Marina Club, Hong Kong): Tasted blind amongst 12 vintages. Deep caramel gold in colour. Nose is reticent and not as old as the colour suggests (?) but there is real depth and complexity lurking here…. it is a deep, dark and lurking kind of a nose that is quite intriguing. As the 10th vintage tasted, the palate demonstrated the clearest expression of the classic mahogany furniture and associated beeswax and burnt caramel elements of Ch. Musar Blanc…a nice brightness too. . Bright on the palate too. Great complexity. Heady and superb resonance. This is really very good indeed. Once revealed as the 1981 vintage, Serge mentioned that he had used only the Merwah grape in this vintage. So now I can identify that it is Merwah that give the Musar Blanc its predominant character.
