Opened to celebrate my MW success. Pale ruby – quite like Pinot Noir in colour. Not at all weird on the nose, but certainly very savoury – leather, earth, bramble fruit. Beautiful maturity – really medicinal and cedary. For Musar, this is positively conventional – it evokes mature Médoc crossed with mature southern Rhône. Succulent and refined.
The 1999 was not tasted at the winery but poured over lunch. Unfortunately it had not been decanted and as luck would have it the young waiter poured me the last of the bottle which was thick with sediment. So very difficult to judge, but it had a gorgeous nose with a ripeness of cherry and cassis fruit smoothed by cappuccino, spice and a savoury grilled-meat quality. I think this is probably an extremely good Musar and look forward to tasting it again.
