(MUSAR Cuvee Blanc) Hodge Podge Dear Friends, Tonight we have a Friday-like hodge podge of very interesting wines. The Kopke is a personal favorite and it represents real value in Vintage Port. For a young 2007, it’s darn alluring as I type this... 2007 Kopke Vintage Port (750ml) - STRICT LIMIT 6/person (compare at $50-90) 2001 Henri Bonneau Chateauneuf du Pape “Reserve des Celestins” - EXTREMELY LIMITED 2004 Chateau Musar Cuvee Reservee Blanc (Bekaa Valley, Lebanon) - STRICT LIMIT 6/person Like Kalin and other stalwarts of eccentricity and electricity, Musar produces this wine to please nothing but their own palate. If you enjoy the idea of Bressan (Friuli) meshed with dried apricots and resin, this quasi “current release” wine will find a dandy place in your wine-geek arsenal – ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price.

4/23/2013 - tarheel17 Likes this wine:
pop & pour, the consumed over 3 hours
nose: has that resin-y character, plus deep, ripe apricot/pear aroma. very faint indications of oxidation (which become much more apparent on the palate and were easily overlooked the first hour or so on the nose)
palate: high-toned (in fact almost spirit-like, but without the 'firewater' sensation). Oily and resinous, the fruit is secondary to the pitched and pithed palate direction. A lot of orange peel and orange oil, there is very little sweetness to the fruit. Very interesting. Can't see it pleasing many people, but wine nerds like me may rejoice in such a bottle for $8.

A little flat, lacking acidity and verve. Still, nicely drinkable, though badly paired with homemade chili.

gentle, honeyed bouquet, nutty and involving on the palate with incredible texture--rich and oily without being heavy in the least. finishes softly but leaves quite an impression. amazing stuff for $10.

Pretty consistent to the previous bottle with maybe more pineapple notes. A very light oxidative touch.
Enjoyable.
