In a really pretty spot right now. Secondary aromas of cedar, dried earth, and baked black currants. People love collecting this wine - I get it now. Solid and dependable Medoc example — 6 years ago

Tasted 6 bottles back to back with zero bottle variance. Savory, singed cedar, hoisin, and intensely aromatic. Plenty of time left. — 8 years ago

Medium ruby with a hint of bricking, this wine has a phenomenal herbal nose of mint and leather and underbrush. In the mouth the wine is everything you want from Musar. Stunning fruit, cedar, a bit of barnyard and dried flowers. Incredibly complete and delicious. There's a phenomenal salinity to the wine with a faint powdery tannin. — 10 years ago

Always exceptional. I really admire the 2009 but I would prefer some of the vanillin/coconut American oak character to be a bit more woven into the overall picture. Pure red fruit aromas, exotic cedar and spice, sweet tobacco and a hint of balsamic herb. The freshness and silky tannins are delightful, just wait a few years for the aromatics to come together and resolve some of the younger parts. It’s going to be special. — 7 years ago

Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago

Strong cherries on the nose, some cedar and leather notes. Cocoa on the palate, too, fuller bodied and decently strong tannic backbone. — 8 years ago
