  Mash up of Rhône and Bordeaux character with a healthy splash of brett. Reasonably structured for a supposed soft and entry level wine; okay to drink but years of life left. Not boozy or overripe. Good wine for like spiced burgers/meat or other things with savory and smoky spices, or pizza etc. Solid value for $25. Definitely not boring. ~6.5/10

  Not bad, not as good as I expected. I guess I paid a little more for it, bought it from a restaurant a few years ago because I had a glass and liked it. Also had it with pizza, as several others here did :-).

  The '15 Musar Jeune is fairly tasty for an entry level Musar. This is a blend of 50% Cinsault, 30% Syrah and 20% Cab. There's some nice perfume notes with a bit of ripe red fruit on the nose. A bit rustic/old world on the tongue with black/blue fruit, a touch of earthiness, fairly well integrated tannins and medium acidity. Not overly complex but definitely quaffable. This went well with pizza.

  Great work by Musar. This reminded me of an '09 St. Estèphe bottle I had almost on release. It doesn't try to be something it is not. It is slightly rustic on the nose, with slight funk that mellows down as time goes by but also a a solid amount of dark fruit blackcurrant, cassis, tobacco leaf, cigar box. On the palate things change. It is quite polished, very silky, tannins are rounded, a good amount of extract and acidity is medium and balanced. No heat perceived at all. The finish is dusty, around thirty seconds long. Went so well with a home-made Big 'Al burger. (roasted mushrooms, muenster cheese, caramelized onions) One of the best burger pairings I've had.
