Description

A combined lot of three rare, highly collectable and fantastic tasting vintages from Chateau Musar.

These are some recent tasting notes from Cellartracker.

1979.
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. Totally transparent but still very bright and fresh-looking ruby/amber colour. Nose is light and restrained. Palate is light rosewater and liquorice pod...somewhat dilute...but then a huge surge of powerful resonance completely blows you away...just like a very old top quality Rioja. Very complex indeed but not at all showy... (93 Points). Tasted 6/1/2012.

Brick red, tawny rim, classic hickory wood smoke, initial waft of VA. This completely dissapated over a few hours,evolved into all charm,with walnut and varnished floorboards, savoury, gently sweet,lovely fruit blossomed in the glass and VA almost totally disappeared. Extended + length. Lovely, lovely, lovely. Next evening had not deteriorated.This will age gracefully for 10+years. The best ever Musar vintage. (95 Points). Tasted 18/11/2010.

1981.
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. Darker (one of the darkest) transparent cherry red colour. Nose is restrained, bass-toned and furled like a flag that hasn't opened. Palate is light like the 1979 yet way more complex: it has gorgeous pinpoint acidity, super powdered brick-dust resolved tannins...gorgeous and perfumed...talcum powder.....with enormous resonance inside the head on the finish. (92 Points). Tasted 6/1/2012.

Smell. Earth, cranberries, potporri, leather,cigar box,red fruits.
Taste. Raspberries, cherries, tobacco, leather, struck matches and hints of match sticks, portabello mushrooms.
Overall. Classic and hard to put into words. It's something that has to be experienced to understand-simply words do not seem to do a wine like this justice. The scents and flavors in this wine seem to transition just before acknowledgment and it lingers on the palate effortlessly in an almost weightless presence. (98 Points). Tasted 5/12/2010.
