1975 Château Musar Red

Pretty pale ruby. The first wine to smell perhaps a little too old. Not as fresh as some though it delivers lots of naughty pleasure. Dustiness slightly trumps the fruit. It’s a tad dried out on the end though the flavours are a delight. Clean finish. A bit like a mix of mature vintage port, lemon juice and water. I’d like just slightly more fruit concentration in the middle. (JR)
