2002 Chateau Musar

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

91 Points

Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - Initially poured without decanting there was a touch of spritz in this which didn't sit well with the rest of the flavours & textures - however after a few minutes this settled down and started to develop (it didn't stop either, getting better & better as the minutes progressed).
A warm, smoky nose with a touch of barnyard mixed in among the alcohol spice. Delightfully smooth and warm in the mouth this has integrated flavours and chalky dry tannins, there's chocolate mixed in with the manure and a long, but subtle, earthy finish. Deliciously textured this wine is wonderful with a quality approaching that of the '99. 90-91pts.
