Saturday, January 11, 2020 - Chateau Musar 1999-2004 vertical blind tasting: Wine of the night, with half the tasters rating it 1st, and only one rating it below 2nd place in the flight.
The 2003 replaces the usual Musar funk with a dollop of ripe fruit, which expands the savory foundation in multiple dimensions. Fig, date, and dark cherry flavors, along with a racy spiciness evolved over time in the glass to keep it entertaining. Even traditionalists were taken by this big, friendly, complex wine. Definitely in its prime right now, I’d recommend drinking remaining bottles over the next couple of years while the fruit’s still fresh.

Cheers!
