This unusual blend of grapes seems to create a far more complex,fragrant wine,with suppleness and finesse,when it is older.Some vintages from the 1960's are still drinking wonderfully.Some people suggest(like Parker)that the older vintages taste similar to a Chateauneuf du Pape.Other people,like myself,compare it to a fine old Burgundy.
I have located the following tasting note:-
Chateau Musar 1986.
Smell....Earth,cement,dried red fruits,gingerbread cookies and a kaleidoscope of scents that could not be identified as this wine is in a state of transition.
Taste...Cherries,strawberries,cranberries,shitaki mushrooms,and so much more that could not be identified.Much like the nose,this wine had a finish that seemed to last forever and was constantly changing.
Overall....I can't think of many red wines that I have had,that I have enjoyed as much as I did this.These wines are so singularly unique and interesting that nothing could honestly be compared to them.Perhaps the best bottle from this producer I have had yet.
(98 Points).
