2019 opened September ‘24. Unusual nose — briars and turmeric. The light red fruits on the front are quickly subsumed by a complex wave of tannins. I detect dark chocolate in the base notes. Orange zest in the high notes. There’s some other stuff happening in the initial tannic rush that I can’t identify, but they’re yummy. These desperate elements are held together by an initially soft tannic structure — but a stronger mineral component starts at the back of the mid pallet and it provides a long tasty finish.

Personally, I think it was best right out of the bottle. After the first glass, I let it open up for an hour, and it got a little less interesting as some of the.subtleties disappeared — but still very tasty! That suggests to me that it might not hold up to a long cellaring, but I am a bit perverse in that I like my wines young. — 15 days ago

My first #chateaumusar - taciturn black fruit, cassis, sous bois on the nose. Palate with conspicuous acidity up front, sturdy tannins mid-palate on the finish. Delicious wine now but easily could cruise 10 to 15 years longer. Fascinating 50% #cinsault 40% #grenache 10% #cabernetsauvignon — 10 months ago

42 years with big shoulders still in need of a generous decant . More than ample fruits and still has long life on front of her. Cork in great shape and very little sediment. — 9 months ago

2004 at Easter 2022. Color very good. Decanted and drunk. Just some fine sediment. Strong fruit on the front though a bit short and drying on the back. Nice wine with still some structure and a good food complement. — 2 years ago

Really changes once aired out. Tart on the front end peppery on the back end. It’s like a chameleon, always a lizard — 3 years ago
