| 1995 Chateau Musar (Lebanon, Bekaa Valley) | 2/19/2024 | Barry Notes | FLAW |
GRAND TASTING #2: Exposed leakage/soaked cracked cork. Removed with two prong. Clear, thin brown/red color, some brown edge. Although corked to some degree, bottle was still palatable. Poured into glasses for 2 hours. Intense nose. This drank like very old/aged wine, tawny port'ish, nice fruit through the flaw. Plum, red cherry, should have been at least 93 pts if sound. Long finish. Tough luck but you get a bad bottle now and then. (427 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
