Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 9, 2017 - I am a fan of Musar, and this bottle did not disappoint. After an odd and somewhat off-putting opening nose of rotten ripe fruit, the wine opened up with more sour and dry cherry, cigar, moist earth, dry leaves and smokey peat. The palate was less Bordeaux and more wild, with a pleasant cut in the mid palate that went very nicely with pork. Dark color with little age showing. It will develop bit more for a few years, but but the projected 2017-2055 drinking dates a bit silly. This is not DRC or Lafite.
