Chateau Musar
"It really was a thrill to see how beautifully these wines age. When tasted young, they can sometimes seem a tad coarse and unruly, but with a bit of bottle age, the reds mellow into extremely serious, well-made wines... It was remarkable how long they lasted in opened bottles - even the oldest of them."
