My first encounter with this wine was an auspicious one (for the wine) - it
was voted the best wine of the night in an early KCCWS wine dinner at the Regal
Kowloon Hotel, in which we had a blind tasting of a whole range of 1994
clarets. One of the wines it beat was the Mouton-Rothschild which I later found
showed such a wide bottle variation that I previously thought impossible in
first growths. That 1994 Haut-Marbuzet was quite tannic at the time (and would
benefit from a few more years of waiting) but the fruit, acid and other
elements were evident enough despite the tannins to win our hearts.
