Wednesday, September 27, 2017 - Briefly decanted. No detailed notes as drank over a business dinner.....a pity I couldn't contemplate it more because, strangely, this was my first time to drink this vintage of the red. Very brightly jeweled semi-transparent ruby colour. Nose lacked the classic and appealing Musar funk....very clean, bright medium spice and deep red and black fruits. Palate has a similar clean, deep-fruited quite sophisticated linear character which had me thinking more of a St. Julien or Pauillac than classic Musar. Good length and persistence. Very enjoyable indeed, especially with roasted French pigeon.
