Flight 1 - Reds (6 Notes)

  • 2003 Chateau Musar

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Almost full bodied with lots of spice especially pepper. Quite dry on the finish. Still very tannic.

  • 2002 Chateau Musar

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Fairly big wine and a little alcoholic at the moment. Oriental spice dominates the palate especially on the finish.

  • 1999 Chateau Musar

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Good core of sweet fruits and a bold expression of sappiness. I would say this is entering drinking window but definitely need some decanting before serving.

  • 1998 Chateau Musar

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    The 1998 had a distinct liquorish character which is pretty alluring and would be a good tasting wine. Again spices dominate but this was less rustic than the others tasted.

  • 1967 Chateau Musar

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Very aged taste and character bordering on mustiness. Not my taste but perhaps needed a bit more decanting.

  • 2009 Chateau Musar Musar Jeune Red

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Very fruity but very tannic. I don't get much out of this wine at the moment but definitely needs to go with some food.

Flight 2 - Whites (2 Notes)

  • 2003 Chateau Musar Blanc

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Very sherry like. A bit too much for me. For oxidative lovers only.

  • 1989 Chateau Musar Blanc

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Golden. This has more sweet floral components compared to the 2003 but also a full bodied white. Well integrated on the palate and actually quite enjoyable. An intellectual wine.
