Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of four hours. The 2020 Musar Jeune Rouge pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of currants, blackberries, black cherry, Tootsie Roll, dried leaf tobacco, underbrush and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Against a lineup of pretty serious wines, this more than held its own. In fact, I found myself coming back to it over and over. As Musar’s most humble wine, “Jeune” is a wonderful representation of the overall quality of Musar. Drink now through 2030. — 15 days ago

Beautiful wine. Slightly prefer the 1999, which I had last night. The ‘99 was musty and tasted lots of mushrooms. The ‘01 is still earthy, but fruitier. Dark fruits, with a bit of tobacco and cedar. — a month ago

This is simply sumptuous. Such an elegant and rich mouthfeel, and such depth of flavor. Grippy tannins, so decant this: let it breathe and loosen up. It’s delicious! — 18 days ago

Pleasant, driven by ripe watermelon, tart plum. A small tannic grip at the end, barely there — a month ago

Brick in color extending to a watery edge. Olive sweet brine, leather, tobacco and cola on the nose. Medium body, round tannins, well balanced. Light and nice. Serve chilled with funky cheeses, olives, and spiced nuts. Would be a sexy side to a thanksgiving meal. — a month ago
