Still quite a vivid, purple rim. Leather, baked
black fruits and cinnamon, but less volatile acidity than many a Musar. A hint
of a Graves-like ashtray note. The fruit note is not as baked as in some
vintages, perhaps a bit more raspberry than stewed plum. Not as dense or as
intense as some vintages (the very powerful 95), but a big hit of acid at the
back of the palate. The smelly, animalistic aromatics I love in Musar have yet
to make a big appearance, and I wonder to what extent they will do so. Good,
but not a historical vintage. Still, other tasting notes suggest it may be the
best vintage since the 1995.
