Community Tasting Note

March 28, 2020 - This was consumed before and during the Zoom call with Marc Hochar on Wine Berserkers with notes taken in real time:
Just decanted my last bottle of 1995 Musar in preparation for tonight's call. Nose is soft with hints of cherry. Palate is light with good acidity. Some dark plummy fruit coming in on the finish.
My previous bottle of the 1995 was more in the lifted, bretty all over the place wonderfulness that Musar can do. This is a more elegant, refined wine. If I were tasting it blind I'd probably guess Burgundy. Beautiful but not what I was expecting.
Will follow over the course of the next few hours with dinner and then with the Zoom conference and report in here.
With air and some broiled lamb chops a gorgeous earthy, loamy note is emerging.
Over the course of the Zoom conference a spicy note emerged and just now about 2 hours after decanting the nose suddenly exploded. Wow! More of a strawberry note on the palate now. Much greater depth and persistence now. Having it with a bit of Comte during the call.3,010 views
