Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 24, 2009 - I love Musar. I love what it stands for, I love its difference, I love its not-for-everyone-taste-profile. It can be a bit up and down some years, but this 2002 is straight out of blocks oozing quality. At first out of the bottle this is quite deep and primary, almost un-Musar-like but over time it relaxes and starts to waft out its typical notes - there is a cut of burnt cherry here on the nose and then deep, funky lovely fruit, violets, leather and of course notes of "merde" (although not as pronounced as in some years). Complex. In the mouth wonderful texture, balance and finesse - sweet plum, rich exotic fruit, some fruit cake in there and then a wonderful splash of tannins and acidity to cut through all of this. Excellent. No doubt this will go for years but giving up serious pleasure right now.
