2002 Chateau Musar
Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 27, 2021 - I have not had the 2002 for a number of years as used to find it a bit out of balance and not very Musar like. I was pleasantly surprised that the nose, now, was very powerful and though initially a little four square the flavour is full throttle, mature, raisiny fruit and volatility. It softened down a bit after 30 minutes and was generally very good. I never see the point of mentioning what the cork was like but for those who need to know it was dreadful and just crumbled into a million bits.
