1999 Chateau Musar
Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 2, 2014 - Miniinferno #1 in Umeå (Hemmavid, Umeå): Mature, delicious, powerful and rustic. One of the great tasters at the table spontaneously said: "...this is like a Musar...". I had intended it as a ringer, but made a face-plant. Would have been much better in a C9dP tasting.
It displayed no brett, has a slightly sweet core and is delightfully mature, as in playful early maturity. Still plenty of life ahead. This is rewarding and complex, but lacking the structure that previous btls displayed.
...or was it the company of super structured fantastic '95 Bordeaux that dismantled this wine? Hmm, good question, but I don't think so. It was a different animal from its ordinary self already upon popping it.
Happy to have 3 btls in London.
