Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Wednesday, December 2, 2009 - It's been a couple of years since I last tried this very promising vintage, and it's finally starting to show some signs of maturity confirming that this is a good cellar investment. Blood red colour, characteristic Musar aromas that fits with my interpretation of 'volatile', 'Bordeaux gone wrong in a good way' sort of fashion. Figs, exotic spices and definitely some chocolate on the nose. Good backbone, smoother tannins than I am able to recall from previous tastings. Fruity enough to follow all the way through, but still young enough to give the impression that this will improve further. If you can't wait there is certainly nothing wrong in trying a bottle now. From here on out it all comes down to one's own preferences. I certainly enjoy this now, but there can't be any doubt that it will improve further during the next ten years or so.
