Friday, March 4, 2016 - Fantastic nose quite alike to an aged 90s Bordeaux. With cassis, cedar, sous bois, earth, leather, strawberry, spices and cherry. The palate was very Rhone-esque though. With bright cherries and spices. The texture was very velvety and filled with subtle nuances of fruit, spice and wood. Very different in character from the '99 Musar but equally exotic in a style that can be gotten only from this winery. A steal at current prices. Especially for the quality of the wine. Much more open than the previous '01 Musar tried a few years ago. Ready for consumption. Not decanted. Slow ox for about an hour.
