2002 Chateau Musar
Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 6, 2020 - Dark colour in this wine. The cork required some care to remove. The wine itself is very assertive, sweet dried fruit on the nose along with leather and tobacco. On the palate, it is a little dense. Everything you expect of musar is there, it just lacks the expression of the 2001 that was consumed the following week. Day 2, it has opened it a little and was more giving.

At the time, I was quite excited about the wine and its potential. Quick question: did you aerate/decant the wine or pop it and follow it over two days from bottle?
