  Checked in on a bottle of my case of ‘15 Musar this weekend. The wine showed little, if any, Brett or funk which surprised me. The bouquet instead offered cassis, blackberry, raspberry, some mushroom, and a hint of tapenade. The palate on this bottle was a dead ringer for left bank Bordeaux at around 10-15 years, and I likely wouldn’t have been able to distinguish the two in a blind tasting. Bright, mouth-cleansing acidity that begs for another sip. Good stuff.

  I also would not look at a Musar before 10 years old but this was very well made indeed. Still some soft tannins that need to dissipate but the tradition raisiny fruit is there in abundance and within 5 years this will be beautifully balanced and very much traditional Musar rather than the worrying drift towards a global style that some recent vintages have shown. This note is very close to the 2014 as apart from being slightly more concentrated they are very similar and equally this will age beautifully.

  Very distinct in terms of flavour profile - on the nose dark fruit, sweet spices, tobacco. Generous fruit on the palate, low acidity, good concentration. The tannins are ripe but quite noticeable. Decent depth and good length. 91-93

  PN: M+, mørke bær, lær.
  PS: Tobakk, overrasket mindre smak enn duft, snerp under overleppa, sitter lenge, mye syre på slutten.
