Château Musar (Rosé) 2004


A bit of the worst of both worlds on the bouquet; the lemony, Sémillon quality of the Musar Blanc but without the Blanc’s intensity (austerity), and a suggestion of Pinot Noir-esque strawberries. We’d heard great things about the Musar rosé, that it actually shows development; but after a couple of hours with it between the fridge and our glasses we weren’t convinced. However, when we returned to polish it off the following day we found ourselves arguing about whether it was now more apricot (N1) or more orange (N2), so worth a whirl after all.
