1999 Chateau Musar

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - Pretty funky on opening - lots of VA, horse and dirt. Maybe a touch stewed too. Alice certainly not a fan at this point. As ever with Musar, time did it's work. Notably cleaning up up, after 30 mins. After an hour it was clean enough to enjoy. Last glass at 2 hours much the best: a super red-fruited core with baked earth, wild herbs, and a real tension on the palate giving this cracking energy enhanced by a slight spiciness in the long finish. More than reminiscent of a Chateauneuf but without the alcohol. Super, but really needs air after opening.
