1970 and more

Dinner at Brown.

Krug Grande Cuvée - very nice. Sharp acidity, refreshing, drunk up quickly.

Bought from Watson's Wine Cellar for HKD 900.

1996 Blanc de Lynch-Bages - not bad. Exactly what I expected. Nice toasted oak, not too heavy.

Bought from Ponti for HKD 450.

1970 Chasse-Spleen - typical Bordeaux. Very smooth and velvety on the palate. Finish was a little short. Some fruit left here but mostly tobacco, smoke, and earth.

Bought from Fine and Rare Wines for GBP 35.

1970 Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial, from magnum - WOW! What a great wine! Nose of coconut and vanilla, surprisingly fruity still, very vibrant. As expected the acidity was a bit high. Very powerful. Glad I bought this.

Bought from Ponti for HKD 2,500.

1955 Romer du Hayot - I've wanted to try this for a long time. Nose of pineapple. Palate was a little bitter like marmalade. Sharp and alcoholic. Sweet but not honey and nectar-like. Not bad.

Bought from Bacchus for SGD 192.
