94 Points

Friday, January 29, 2021 - Decanted for approx 1h before drinking

The wine is slightly hazy, looks Garnet coloured with some bricking at the edge. The legs are long. There is heavy sediment in the bottle.

On the nose: Ripe rich black and red fruit, sweet strawberry, then more savoury with stewed meat black pepper, vanilla (oak) and slight barnyard.

On the palate: sweet fruit - 1st berries then citrus, then back to stewed caramelised berries and vanilla, finishing with tobacco and lead pencil.

The body is medium/full
The wine has silky texture.
The wine finishes very long.
The wine has smooth acidity.
The wine mediums, round Tannins.

Wow!
Beautiful colour, aged and bricking at the edge.
As usual with Musar the wine is big yet has an amazing finesse.
Perfect balance between Acidity and Tannin.
This wine is very complex and flavourful and as time went on became more fruit forward and was evolving every mouthful.
A delight !
