Chateau Musar Red 1966

Chateau Musar Red 1966

The 1966 (1970 & 1977) were much bigger wines with a lot more tannin and backbone, very Pomerol in character with much greater apparent longevity (than the first group which was 1975, 1969, 1967). The 1966 probably attracted the most attention because the only sign of age was in the appearance.

Although the aroma was light for the group, the flavour had an attractive, surprising freshness and the tannin had smoothed out into a rich texture.They are quite full bodied, very fragrant, rich and supple - the very good 1966, exquisite 1969 and 1970 tasted recently.
