Older bottles of Chateau Musar are often an intriguing mouthful of wine.The unusual blend of Cabernet Sauvignon,Carignan,Cinsault,and Grenache grapes needs time to soften and with age,this wine shows its true glory.
Some people,(like Robert Parker) suggest that older vintages taste similar to Chateauneuf du Pape.Others,like myself,compare it to a fine old Burgundy.
There is no doubt that age in bottle adds to the suppleness,complexity,and finesse of Chateau Musar.

"What a beautiful surprise! Decanted and served.Quite bricking in colour.Nose floral,leathery,red fruits,cherries,strawberry.
Palate wise: quite soft,round tannins,very elegant,light sweet core of red fruits.A very special wine and a beautiful experience.Drink now".

"From an unusually hot vintage.Warm,open,spicy nose:quite sweetly fruited and powerful.The palate is spicy with sweet fruit (yes,there is fruit here!),notes of tea and herbs,and a spicy alcoholic finish.The sweet fruit is balanced by the tannins and acidity.Delicious and complex,with great concentration.Very good/excellent".
