Wednesday, August 1, 2018 - '02 Musar at the Morris (The Morris, SF): Out of the bottle - sweet dried berry tamari. Mid-inflection and delicious and ripe but still reticent. Though the aromatics arent complex, the body, ripeness, and overall sweetness are more intense than Musar’s of this age usually are just out of the bottle. Consistent with my “Bold” classification of this.

Gave it a vigorous decant - let’s see if it comes out of its shell or if it’s in that post-primary-pre-tertiary phase (where ‘99 seemed to be a couple years ago).

At dinner:
Liquorice (intense salty liquorice) and dried roses. Intense black currant. Slightly tertiary. Bold and wonderful. Distracting.
