  Cork disintegrated so I was worried, but worry not as this was open for business from the get go. Ripe redcurrant, strawberry jam, raisin, as well as savoury leather. Must have been a warm year and not as much spice as other Musar’s I’ve had. Maybe I had low expectations after the cork, but this was drinking very nicely indeed

  First of the case; Very young, but still very enjoyable.

  Søt krydret duft av plommer og lær. God konsentrasjon og tørr utgang med god lengde.

  From memory - this had 2 hours of air, and was then ready to go vs a little tight to start. Very nice, low-toned on the acetone quality that I love, but the powerful fruit and wild funk were there to complement a greek-styled lamb shank magnificently. Upon drinking I had the impression that this was in the youthful side of its window already.

  I also would not look at a Musar before 10 years old but this was very well made indeed. Still some soft tannins that need to dissipate but the tradition raisiny fruit is there in abundance and within 5 years this will be beautifully balanced and very much traditional Musar rather than the worrying drift towards a global style that some recent vintages have shown.
