This amazing red hails from a winery that has gained global respect for producing excellent quality in the most unlikely of regions and through very difficult political times when civil war racked Lebanon.
Made largely from cabernet with a bit of cinsault, this maturing vintage explodes with intense, leathery, dried fruit and peppery aromas and flavours. It's full bodied, open knit a bit volatile and edgy but very exciting on the palate. Great sweet, sour and spice flavour tensions and outstanding length. Enjoyable now should hold ten years.
To best appreciate the subtlety and complexity of Château Musar red we suggest decanting between 30 minutes and 2 hours before serving.
While Château Musar red is certainly ready to be enjoyed upon release 7 years after vintage, or at the age of discretion, the patient are rewarded as they are exceptional after 15 years of age
