I would just add that if you like all that is "typical" of Ch Musar, I would aim to drink the 2005 fairly promptly after opening (at least if, as we did, you have done a double decant).

Wet old wood nose. I was going to say dull, with all the interest (I like some fruit) gone but it opened quite quickly with an hour or two in the glass. Dry woody finish (long). Pleasant, and we very happily continued with it but, please, drink up - this is going nowhere.

Slightly sulphurous nose which blew off quickly in the glass. Robust fruit well balanced with the tannins. Still a bit too dry on the finish (for me) but has developed into a wine we all enjoyed.
