95 Points

Wednesday, August 18, 2021 - Drank over three days—

The back label of Musar recommends decanting, but I never have and see no reason to do so. The nose is enticing upon opening—big savory notes of wet soil, damp woods and tobacco. There is mint in the background, along with a piquant mix of red and ripe black fruits—almost stewed. The palate follows the fruit with some spice added. The tannins are soft with medium acidity and a lingering finish.

Comparing this to the other vintages I’ve had, this was slightly more direct—day one didn’t differ so much from day three (unlike, for example, the ‘98).
