(Chateau Musar) It was just plain sick. Incredible nose of currants, cherry, cassis, brett, tea leaves, hay, earthy and burnt forest floor that kept getting more and more aromatically interesting as the evening went along. The palate was perfect. No hard edges at all with perfect integration of all fruit, tannin and nice crisp acids with a light velvety mouthfeel that lingered for what seemed like forever. Lovely lovely Musar and will easily last 20 years in the cellar.
