Community Tasting Note

    January 23, 2014 - Drank with patatas bravas. I was lucky enough to get an exceptional bottle of Musar, far better than my last '99. Light cherry colour. Extremely aromatic and complex nose. I could smell this just pouring into the decanter! Sweet berrys, apple cider, leather and general 'forest' aromas. Quite Burgundian. In the mouth the attack is also quite sweet and rich extending to a beautiful and almost piercing acidity on the mid-palette but never off-balance. The finish is warming, very, very long and mouth-filling. Tannins are there but resolving nicely. Stunning and unique wine. Best way to drink this? Slowly from initial pour. I drank this with a friend over 6 hours and it was insane. Worth a gamble I'd say.
