5***** Provenance

Overview

A great vintage. I thought it would be special, if quite awkward, but it became great – Serge Hochar

The evolution of this vintage is an example of the unpredictable nature of Musar wines. From its early days in the cellars where it exhibited a simplistic, almost backward characteristic, with time the wines fleshed out to become what many considered a classic vintage of Chateau Musar.

Grape Varietals

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan

Winemaking

The three varietals were fermented separately in the winery’s concrete vats. Fermentation was completed unusually quickly this year which resulted in wines that were light and delicate in their youth. 12 months ageing in French oak before approximately equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan were blended. Bottled in 1981.

Tasting Notes

When released the wine was a bright, deep garnet-red. The nose quite open, with notes of roasted, spice and

cardamom. A great depth and richness were apparent on the palate, conveying flavours of cassis, caramel, spices, and nutty oak. A definite but not excessive acidity was complemented by firm, dry tannins. A sweet fruit, full-bodied vintage; velvety in the mouth with a long, warm finish. In its maturity, the wine still retains its acidity and spice element, with an emphasis toward liquorice and dark fruits with the underlying sweet/savoury note that is the hallmark of a now elegant and mature vintage.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
