Climens, Doisy-Daëne and Guiraud
Sauternes/Barsac dinner at the Pawn in Hong Kong.
NV Thiénot Brut Rosé - nice nose of red fruits like raspberries.
2006 Doisy-Daëne - wonderful nose of orange, honeydew melon, honey, acetone. Pretty sweet.
1989 Guiraud - sweet, slightly nutty, a little raisiny with acetone.
2005 Climens - honey, a bit nutty with acetone. Pretty sweet on the palate.
1964 Climens - lovely nose of honeydew melon, dates, walnut and acetone. Sweet with some acidity to balance things out on the palate.
1942 Doisy-Daëne - nutty, raisin, toffee with good depth of flavors. According to Fabrice Dubourdieu this was bottled only in 1946 when the château was able to get their hands on enough glass bottles.
2009 Guiraud - a little plastic with some white flowers. Very sweet on the palate.

MNSC Dinner - Yung's Club
MNSC annual dinner held at Yung's Club (嚐真) - the 8th floor of the Yung Kee Building. Theme was Vega Sicilia Unico vertical.
1942 Vega Silicia Unico - sweet nose with strawberry bubblegum, preserved plum notes. It was a bit acidic on the palate at first, but later on it also tasted like preserved plums (話梅) with licorice (甘草). 93 points.
1967 Vega Sicilia Unico - very sweet nose with a bit of smoked meats and mint. Acidic on the palate at first, but with some grippy tannins at the same time. 94 points.
1957 Vega Sicilia Unico - very sweet nose with prominent bacon and grilled meat notes. A bit medicinal but a wonderful wine. Still pretty full-bodied on the palate. 94 points.
1962 Vega Sicilia Unico - a bit plasticky and alcoholic. Nose is sweet buta bit chalky. 92 points.
1964 Vega Sicilia Unico -Very sweet nose with a bit of smoked meats, and strong notes of stone and gravel, a bit flinty and steely. 94 points.
1953 Vega Sicilia Unico - lots of caramel, vanilla and mocha notes enveloping the core of sweet fruits. A bit chalky. Very awesome and my wine of the evening. 96 points.
1970 Vega Sicilia Unico - a real shame because this wine did not have enough time to open up, as we finished the dinner earlier than expected. There was some sweet fruit but it was still pretty closed.
