Plum, juicy and ripe red and dark cherries, some earth, a touch of sweet spices. Sweet and smooth tannins, good acidity, moderate alcohol. 50% Cinsault, 35% Grenache, 15% Cabernet Sauv.

This is a bottle of excellence. Bright, yet subtle. Spicy, but not hot. Plums and tannins. Rich, textured, it’s alive.

Marvelous. Starts immediately on the nose—full of rich dark fruits and a little thyme. Carries into the palate with the addition of medium-minus oak. Flavors linger a long time with minimal fall off.

Beautiful - everything a young Chateau Musar has - bright sweet cherry fruit with a candied note, a bit of VA that adds depth, a light touch of funk that’s barely perceptible - maybe a level below in terms of extraction and depth, but not far behind. Impressed. This would be a case buy if I drank enough to buy a case of anything

Несбалансированно, жарко. Похоже на аргентинские или чилийские бомбы.

Notes of plum, cherry, currant and anise with lively tannins that smooth out paired with cheese. Smokey Grenache but rounder.
