Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 7, 2013 - Blind Tasting on a Saturday Night (Woodley Park - Washington, DC): Tasted blind from a decanter, this wine evolved and changed like waves in an approaching storm. I was guessing 20-year-old Bordeaux, 15-year-old Chateauneuf, but I knew it was unlike anything I'd tasted before. Was thrilled to see it was a Musar, as I have very limited experience with these wines, and no experience with Musar this old. A rusty-ruby color in the glass. Shifting and evolving aromas of bright cherries, wild strawberry, pepper and leather. The palate is really tangy with brisk acid. Crisp red apple and cherry flavors mix with seriously herbal aspects of bay leaf, brine, soy and wet leaves. The acid lingers long onto the finish, which is seamless and balanced. A beauty. Thanks, Brett!
