As with all older bottles of Musar, it took a good 30+ minutes for the must to blow off and some of the tartness to mellow out, but once it did, this was another, wonderful, elegant bottle of Musar. Light-to-medium bodies with fully-integrated tannins showing a cornucopia of dark fruit and earthy flavors.

very tart up front; evolved into something special over the 1-2 hours of drinking.

I'd say to decant it and give it 30 minutes, which should be plenty for it open up. Targeting 2 hours to start drinking is too long I think. Hope that helps!

Too early, even with significant decanting. Will be delicious in five years.

Will bear in mind when I open next bottle, but will still wait awhile as I focus on some of my older (5-10 years) Bevans, which I find to be a wonderful window for Russell’s wines.
