January 28, 2019 - "A taste of Libanon"-Tasting, Flight 5, Wine 1 (non-blind): The wine was medium to dark ruby, almost garnet in colour and offered damson plum, strawberry, cucumber, a hint of Brett and some VA on the nose. On the palate, the wine showed red fruit, strawberry, plum, some leather, some tobacco and complex spice flavours, with good acidity, fine, ripe tannin, and superb length of the strawberry- and spice-driven finish. This 2002 Chateau Musar was smooth, balanced and complete. I liked it quite a bit and very much preferred it to the 2004 today. Like the 2000, compared with some other vintages of Chateau Musar (e.g. 1997) the 2002 is very accessible. It should continue to provide immense drinking pleasure over the next 10+ years.
