On the palate, the wine enters with flavours of marmalade before progressing to dried fruit notes. Very pleasant and pleasurable and marks a perfect of every meal indeed. There's a good acidity that gives the wine a fresh finish instead of a lingering sweetness that might be too mouth coating. Nice medium (+) finish. High quality 5 puttonyos indeed. |

1977 Chateau MusarBekaa Valley Red Blend more |
3/14/2014 - Average Wine Guy (MH) wrote: 91 pointsFor a start, I must say that I'm very surprised that this wine is still very much alive! The 1977 Chateau Musar is chalky and murky brick in colour with a nose of dried prunes, dried red dates and dusty cedar. Very perfumed and developed on the pretty enticing nose. Lots of red dried dates on the palate accompanied with dusty wood and dried tabacco. The wine does its best to push for a medium finish - It's still in a drinking window I'm sure. |
