Sunday, August 1, 2021 - Middle East Wine Zoom Tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart. How many of these Musar bottles are floating around!? I keep seeing them!
Appearance medium intensity, ruby colour going garnet. Some light sediment. Legs.
Nose dirty dirty as usual. Medium+ intensity, with aromas of VA nail polish, caramel oxidative, nuttiness, red plums, animal leather meat background (probably brett as usual). Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol 13.5%), grippy high tannins, full body. Medum+ flavour intensity with flavours of honeyed nuttiness, oxidative caramel, animal leather, fine red plums, sweet red cherries, licorice, peppery spices. Long finish.
Very good quality. Musar is what it is. Oxidative wine that tastes good. Maybe an acquired taste for most people.

8/5/2021 6:37:00 PM - 3,468 in cellars from fellow CT members at last count! I’ve got one bottle that I’ve been holding but I see tasting notes 2-3 times a week from this wine. Time to open mine soon.
