WTN: Musars white and red from the 90s

by Jay Labrador » Sun Oct 18, 2026 9:39 am

Middle Eastern and Indian food at last night's friend's birthday party, so time to break out the Musars:

Chateau Musar Blanc 1998: Light orange in color. Medium-bodied. Distinct sherry-ish (fino) flavor. Fully mature, but I think will stay at plateau for some time. Not a wine for everyone, but I quite liked it.

Chateau Musar 1999: Never disappoints. Brick color, lots of stinky brett. Sweet, starts out lightish in weight, but gains a bit of heft with air. Complex, meat, earth, stables, leather. Impressive length. Fully mature, but no hurry to drink this up. Magnificent.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.

Sounds great. Alas I have no more older Musar in my cellar. Need to wait on some younger bottles.

FYI, if you didn’t see it, we are going to have a new, more stable platform for the WLDG very soon. There’s an announcement at the top of the page. We already did the data migration, so your notes won’t transfer (we did that Thursday), so it would be great if you could repost these once we’re live in our new home. Should only be a couple more days.

Jay, I owned some 99's but drank the last one some time back. Loved reading about what it would have been like if I'd held on.
