Community Tasting Note

• RajivAyyangar wrote: 95 points

  April 22, 2016 - Musar Maniacs part II (Pera SF): Pale ruby-garnet. Quite turbid in the glass.
  Complex nose of sweet tertiary fruit - faded and illuminated cherry. Savory dog fur (Brett), a slight balsamic tingle. Loads of dried roses, cranberry, dried orange, sandalwood and yam skin. Over time hints of anise emerged.
  The nose is high-toned.
  Burgundian on the palate with aggressive acidity and a tart finish [Note: The grapes were picked early on account of war.]. It lacks the intensity and darkness of tertiary fruit that the '95 has, but clearly has the same type of tertiary fruit.
  Score: around 9.5
