Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 3, 2010 - Tasted blind. Ruby red with orange highlights.
The nose had a strong volatile character with notes of glue and vinegar. Some cherry, apple and fig on the fruity side complemented by tarry, earthy and perfumy notes.
Medium to fullbodied and rather tannic with nice acidity throughout the palate. Cherry and raspberry notes, rose pedals and spicy oak. Good length.
The volatility is very Musar of course, but otherwise I think pretty much everybody around the table thought this to be a Nebbiolo (and in the Barolo end of the spectrum). The tannins, the colour and the aromas. Well, again a fun bottle/vintage of Musar - always full of surprises.
