Community Tasting Note

• NineteenEightyTwo Likes this wine: 90 points

  November 5, 2014 - Translucent rosewood color. Nose of cocoa, with earthy and spicy notes. The palate echoes this spice, combined with a gamy note of meat, as well as flavors of brandied cherries and ripe plum. With aeration, this takes on an aroma of shoe polish, with a subtly oily element emerging in the mouth. The tannins on this are soft and well-integrated, in contrast to the prior bottle I enjoyed more than a year ago. I agree with other tasters that this is less dense and substantial than other vintages of Musar, though it still drinks pleasantly and offer very high quality for the price.
