2002 Chateau Musar

Community Tasting Note

86 Points

Monday, March 4, 2013 - 2 hour decant.
I really don't know what to make of this wine. Seemed lightweight in all departments with a sappy oak background. Perfectly pleasant 86 pointer but far from Musar's normal high standard.
CellarTrackers' tastings imply a: considerable bottle variance b: this is a young wine that needs another 5+ years. I hope both are true and will therefore leave my remaining bottles till 2017 when they will either be shot or have turned into swans. I have my doubts.
Currently very disappointing, especially after a superb 2005 recently consumed and noted here. Will wait and see.
