Just outside the given drinking window, but this vintage still has a few years left in the tank. Ruby red. Spicy red fruits, excellent length, nice and balanced. As a no 2 level wine (below the original Musar, but above the Aana and Jeune), this is a lovely vintage.

Having drank recently the Chateau Musar Jeune I was delighted to sample this fine 2007 vintage. Beautiful Bordeaux-esque wine - very smooth, ripe fruits - very mineral on the finish.

Drunk in a tasting comparison with a 2005 Musar. Decanted for an hour. Both good wines, but this was thinner without the flinty edge which is characteristic of Musar. That said, it's still a great wine and represents good value from a second wine.

Non-blind. Had immediately with IRS, Hemmavid. Impression: very good PLUS High strung tonight with tense acids but incredibly delicious. Elegant or thin (depending on your taste) with a good mouth flow. Only btl to be finished tonight. IRS liked very much!

Nice spicy and rounded wine. Not unlike Something from Tuscany mixed with a Grenache based Rhone. Lovely.
