Chateau Musar Red 2002

Decanter über: Chateau Musar Red

-- Decanter: A wine with rare concentration and atypical finesse, it gets better and better after the bottle is opened. It desperately needs time, because just after opening the volatile acidity is evident. Then it gets subdued, allowing dry herbs, leather, Armagnac, black pepper and cumin notes to come to the fore, giving a unique profile. It is powerful and rich, baroque and complex – a wine that impacts your skin – followed by lingering, velvety finish. Kept well for the whole week, but stopped improving after the fourth day. Drink from 2020– 2052. 97/100
