    Translucent, showing some age but not as much as expected.

Flight 6 (1 Note)

  • 1995 Chateau Musar 85 Points

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Dark, translucent, very brown.
    Strangled fruit, figs, smoky, a really difficult nose but interesting.
    Peppery figs and dates giving a sweet effect but this wine is very dry, acidity OK, maybe interestingly different from other Musars.

Flight 7 (1 Note)

  • 1994 Chateau Musar 91 Points

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Light, translucent, fairly orange.
    Initially the nose reveals vegetal development, then there's perfume rather than fruit.
    Fairly sweet attack, rich, fruity, great balance, lovely drinking, fresh with element of youth, difficult to believe it's a 20-year-old wine!

    Very attractive development on the nose, fruity perfume.
    Very complex, a wine for contemplation, sweet fruit, great balancing acidity, great length.
