Rockss and Fruit

  (Chateau Musar) Nose was deep and layered. Pomerolian with intense red fruits, barnyard, mint, tea and some currants. Nose was amazing. The palate was one of the most concentrated Musars I have ever had. Perfectly delineated and ripe with gorgeous purity and length. The whole package and then some.
