Monday, February 22, 2021 - This vintage has been my first taste of Musar - and I’m a fan! It has some of the characteristics of a mature barolo - a fruit core of red cherries and dried berries, dusty tannins, then leather and tobacco. It’s more herby than a Barolo and has secondary flavours that only a genuinely fine wine can give - and bags of character. Marked down just a tad by a very slight astringent note on the finish.
Other tasting notes have mentioned some inconsistency between bottles. This is my fourth bottle - so far 3 have been consistent, the other was drinkable but flawed.
