Chateau Musar Lebanon Rouge 2016
Red Blends from Lebanon
Winemaker Notes
Our 2016 vintage is deep ruby in color with high viscosity. Red cherries, plums, carob and figs dominate the nose with a hint of eastern spice. Kirsch and plums follow through to the palate with blackcurrant and chocolate. The tannins are velvety soft and this wine has a lot of depth and fruit concentration with a long finish.
Bordeaux Bard – 90 Points
A thoughtful gift from a great friend, making it hard to critique. My first taste of a younger Musar, it was decanted for five hours and tasted periodically. It revealed notes of sour cherries, oak, subtle spice, and sweet ripe red fruit. While thin on the palate and challenged by volatile acidity, it was overall a young, easy-drinking wine (Carson McEvoy).
Food Pairing
Pairs well with Mediterranean and middle eastern dishes.
