4/5/15, 4:14 AM - JB, Musar is a uniquely volatile wine because of the way it is made. When I buy old Musar, which I frequently do (old = 1993-1975 I would never contemplate opening a bottle until it has rested for at least 3 months after arrival. I seriously recommend you treat the rest of your bottles accordingly. The other thing is you need to stand the bottle for 2-3 days before opening in order to let the particulates to fall to the bottom and for the wine to clarify. Then decant for at least 3 hours....I personally go for a 3-hour decant then back into the cleaned bottle for another 6-8 hours before serving. Hope this helps, and enjoy! Mike
