Lebanon

Chateau Musar (37.5cl)

The wine has noticeably sweet and soft, harmonious with evident acidity and good length.

New

The 2000 vintage is a serious wine with serious ageing potential. The nose is a complex intriguing mixture of figs, prunes, leather, dark tea, tobacco, black olives with spices & a certain earthiness. On the palate, you will find ripe black cherries, figs, damsons-even chocolate and olives. There is good acidity with nice smooth tannins resulting in a wine, which is full-bodied, rich and velvety with very long length.

Chateau Musar 2002

A year of pleasant surprises. The 2002 has an intense & complex nose of spicy red fruits & cedar with deeper plum notes. Generous red & black fruit characters follow through to the palate, combining with notes of Christmas cake spices, figs, dates & stewed plums. This richly-fruited wine shows good acidity, silky tannins & a long, promising finish.
