Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 9, 2009 - Lots of bright fruit that was more syrah in aroma to me than cab, earthy, cow farm but not poopy. The flavor was deeelicious. Lots of sweet blackberry, dark cherries, and spice but with an elegantly light mouthfeel. With dinner (grilled med rare ribeye sliced over a greekish salad) there is a whole new dimension in a mix of olives and fennel fronds with the fruit. The acid is wonderfully present but not overly assertive. The tannic structure is silky and inviting. The finish just goes on for minutes..fruit, spice, more fruit, beet juice, some bitters, more spice. Wonderful stuff. Caveat: this is my first bottle of Musar red so I have no basis for comparison on how Musar-y this really is. All I can say is that it won't be my last bottle of Musar.
