Been wanting to try Musar for a few years now, finally found a bottle locally.

Opened and decanted for an hour, then enjoyed over the course of an evening.

Eye: garnet core, slightly brickish.

Nose: tart cherry and pomegranate. Some anise. Some floral notes. A bit closed.

Mouth: lively and zippy, with strong acidity. Follows nose, with some intriguing menthol notes. Not yet fully integrated and certainly not at its peak, it softened and smoothed out as the evening went on.

Looking forward to trying one of these with some real age on it. This one wasn’t ready yet.
