  Bjørnebær, kirsebær, markjordbær, lakris og litt lær. Myk kjøttfull frukt myk sødme/syre struktur. Veldig avslipte taniner, men fortsatt kraft igjen. Nydelig til pannestekt biff og bakt potet, og god i glasset etterpå uten å snerpe.

  Medium garnet/brick - ripe summer fruit pudding, spices, prunes, dried figues, smoke, game, leather. Med+ acidity, med- ripe tannins, med+ alcohol, full body, long finish. Outstanding quality, this is drinking beautifully now with lovely mix of primary and tertiary elements. No doubt it will continue to develop - but really up to you depending on how you like your Musar.

  Agh what a disappointment. It's inconsistent this wine, to be sure. It's got the classic Musar crazy nose of everything. All the things - blood, iron, spices. Madness. But it's oddly watery and sort of dying. Far inferior to the 2012 but also to the many other 2010s I've had. I'm hoping this was just a dud bottle. The good ones are very good and should last until 2030 easily.
  
  Side note: the Wine society first offered Musar to the nation in 1973, and it was the 1967 vintage.

  Fine sweet aroma, slight hint of spice, then cedar and squashed blueberries. Then on the tongue, complexity, dates then raisin, a dryness and then a long hit of chilli heat and tannis with some dry leather grip, but quite soft not aggressive. Finish is v long, more spice, toasted tobacco and soft fruit, raspberry not strawberry. Can age more I think, get deeper tannins and softer.
