2002 Chateau Musar

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

91 Points

Thursday, March 15, 2018 - ...and it has turned into a swan! (viz my doubting 2013 note).
2hr decant. Deep black-red showing signs of age at the fringes. Massive dark wild hedgefruit hit, extremely luscious and ripe but balanced by the Musar gunflint minerality, earth and spice. Velvety. Excellent accompaniment with our lamb tagine. Either the wine has blossomed in the last 5 years or there is some bottle variance. I'm backing the former option.
Albeit slightly atypical, now at its peak and should be good at this level for at least 20 years from vintage.
