Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 25, 2015 - 19 Vintages of Musar Rouge; 1/25/2015-1/26/2015 (Clark Point House in Southwest Harbor, Maine): Color: Ruby core with a clear meniscus.
Smell: Warm notes of ripe red fruits, brown sugar, clove, cement and a strong not of crimini mushroom.
Taste: Red fruits vie for the spotlight as notes of "Black & bleu" steak with serious char leads into clove.
Overall: Returning to the bolder yet restrained side of Musar; this is a wine built for the long-haul. Med-full body, high acidity, med+ tannin. This is a wine that will reward those that hold off from opening this until it's at least 20 years old. It's still amazing now...but in the context of tasting the vertical...this is really young. In honor of Bart Broadbent who made tasting the '84 Rouge possible I'll use the five * system. (***/**)
