Community Tasting Note

Mimesis Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 11, 2020 - Chateau Musar 1999-2004 vertical blind tasting: A Musar drinker’s Musar, the 2002 starts with noticeable brett, which eventually blows off to reveal the most savory – even tangy – wine of the evening. The nose varies from morel mushrooms to Morello cherries, complementing the equally changeable palate. At times that featured stewed fruit, at others, salted caramel. Truly iconoclastic, and very entertaining, this wine is not for the faint of heart. While I rated the 2002 4th out of six for the evening along with about half the tasters, I ended up having the most emotional attachment to this vintage out of them all. It’s very hard to say how further aging will affect such a wine, but it seems ready to go to me.
