Community Tasting Note

87 Points

Tuesday, January 27, 2015 - Tasted side by side with '04 musar. It was my first time tasting this maker. It is a very unique wine..the closest thing it resembled was an old rioja. Both vintages have high acidity, which make these wines lovely when they are old. The nose was very plummy and secondary with noticeable oak. The palate had red berries, cherry licore and plums. 2001 showed more finesss while 2004 had more strengths. Without tasting old Muscar, it is hard for me to tell if this will turn into something amazing. All I can say is that it is an interesting wine at present stage, but ppl usually either love it or hate it. I personally incline slightly to the love side. But the wine did not have the depth and power for me to give a higher rating.
