Tuesday, January 23, 2018 - Chateau Musar - producing natural wines before it was cool. But also taking you on an alcoholic rollercoaster of mixed feelings. At times you feel blessed to be tasting vintage after vintage of this wine, other times you feel pissed that you can never put your finger on what exactly you're tasting. Layers upon layers of VA mixing together with sweet red fruit, softness with astringency, freshness with flabbiness. And no, I'm not talking about an oxidized wine. This style has unfortunately been very common for Musar over the past decades. It's purely a lottery on what you're getting after opening a bottle.
