This should cellar longer. Maybe another 5 yrs before I try again. Decanted over 3 hrs. Tight in first hour. It needs a lot air now. Many layers and complex fruit. It lingers. Meaty after taste. Dark fruit. Earthy. I liked it very much and look forward to the next one. — 2 days ago

This 2003 Musar Grand Vin Rouge is most exquisite with a jeweled and opaque garnet red color. On the nose, fragrant notes dark currants, cherry tobacco, lavender, leather and exotic spices. On the palate, a lively symphony tying the robust structure, supple tannins and acidic elegance. The finish was somewhat effervescent, long and extraordinary… — a month ago

HBTM! 🥳 🎉🎂 🎈

A Christmas present from Sofia.

This is still somewhat taut and dry, meaty tannins. The first time you should open this Grand Vin. Decanted four and a half hours. It has another 20 years of good drinking ahead.

Bramble, dry blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, dry, dark cherries. Dry twig, dry crushed rocks, lead pencil for days, sandstone/limestone, dark, rich, earth with dry leaves, cigar box, ash, leathery, dark spice, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and vanillin, slightly, moist, volcanic clay, dry & withering flowers that are dark, red and violets framed in lavender, perfect round acidity, structured, well tensioned, overly balanced to earth and smartly polished finish that lands on earth & spice. 

The 02 should be opened in another 8-10 years and will still drink well in another 20 years properly stored.

Paired with AB Brothers Ribcap, crispy baked potato & cooked carrots.

Photos of, their late summer, early fall vineyards and their iconic storage building/vineyard & stainless tanks.

The 07 Turnbull Napa almost seemed grape juice like after the 82 Les Forts & 02 Latour. — a month ago

From farfar’s cellar. Opened with Will and Monika and Kalen and Hugo. Tough to get the cork out but I did a yeomans job. Developing very well over time, started a bit astringent on the finish but now showing much more structure. Beautiful. — 7 months ago
