2002 Chateau Musar

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Sunday, September 22, 2013 - A year having gone by since the last bottle, it was time to taste again! First things first: this wine has thrown a sediment and definitely needs decanting. Medium ruby colour in the glass; nose of exotic spices, leather, clove, orange peel and Turkish delight! I can believe there is significant bottle variation but, although the acidity from the last outing was still present, it was a lot softer this time around, with quite a ripe, sweet, velvety palate of dark fruit and chocolate, and nicely softened though full tannins. All in all, and somewhat contrary to my expectations, this seems fully ready to drink now, but has sufficient acidity to last a few more years.
