2017 Chateau Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend more

2/17/2024 - winers4 Likes this wine: NR

On the nose, intense, cassis, cranberry & cinnamon, a hint of oak, spice & cigar box aromas.

On the palate, intense dark fruit, dark chocolate and structured tannin. Has a concentrated finish, dark berry & black olive notes.

Thought this was Cabernet dominated despite the equal proportions of Cab, Carignan & Cinsault.

Still very young yet quite approachable.

Deep ruby colour, cinnamon spice, clove, tobacco, vanilla on the nose. Savoury oak, vanilla with ripe fruit and structured tannins, full bodied and rich with no rush to drink, will improve further. Great value.

5/14/2021 - winers4 Likes this wine: NR

Decanted for 3 hours, pale garnet colour. A bit closed on the nose, floral with a hint of red berries, flinty. After 24 hours totally opened out, red berry, black cherry, olive, cedar, clove & fresh tobacco. Structured, very intense fruit on the palate, blueberry, raspberry, plum, prune & liquorice. Good backbone to the tannins and plenty of life with a lingering finish.

On opening perfumed on the nose, raspberry & blackberry, fig & liquorice. Fresh ripe tannins. Mid to full bodied with warm fruit. Crunchy blackcurrant, raspberry & blackberry on the palate. On it's plateau although no rush to drink up, will age, an ideal accompaniment for the Lamb Tagine.

Mid shoulder, sunken cork in quite poor condition with evidence of long term seepage. Decanted for 2 hours, Pale garnet colour.
On the nose date, cinnamon, clove. Layers of aromas with intense raspberry . Mid to full bodied, heat from prominent alcohol. Ripe tannins are still giving an evolved structure. Some bitterness on the finish, alcohol dominates and this particular bottle lacking in fruit on the palate.

Splash decanted, acidity obvious on opening with a touch of Brett. Brick red, after 2 hours fragrant red berries, cherry, fig, raisin & spice. Cedar, coffee and a hint of oak. Very complex Cabernet dominated vintage.

Fresh acidity, dark berry compote, black cherry, smooth integrated soft tannins with a very long
lingering finish. Still quite youthful.
