Friday, May 13, 2011 - First Musar. Hazy light red with some oranging rim. Nose is something like day old cherry turnover drizzled with acetone and garnished with lavender. That's the best I've got right now. Very, very lithe on the palate. Plenty of acidity without being edgy. Barest of tannins remaining. Again something like baked cherry, berry, and plum fruit, but not strong or fresh, more like cold leftovers of such. Sweetish but not sugary. Rather a persistent finish. Certainly intriguing, and I will count myself as a fan, but the wife was not in the camp. Would like to try one from a stronger vintage.
