La Mouline and Musar

Dinner in Tokyo.

Shafer Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch, vintage unknown - very nice and smooth.  Not over oaked.

1993 Musar Rouge - it was very different, and smelled strongly of acetone, medical disinfectant, plus weed, earth.  It was smooth and well balanced.  Not bad.

1991 Guigal La Mouline - the nose is there but still not typical of this wine.  A little disappointing.

1991 Chapoutier Le Pavillon - this was less impressive.  Good syrah, but nothing more.
