Château Musar
Cuvée Blanc White Blend 2009
Golden, beautifully matured with all the love you could squeeze out of fresh sour apricots, syrupy canned peaches, perfumed black cherries, and all the things that oxygen brings.
Apricots first, then a lifted VA note that folds into a nutty sticky caramel apple thing.
It's more perfumed and full of acid and life then you'd ever imagine despite a tired ale color. Amazing stuff. — 6 months ago
Château Musar
Levantine De Musar Red Blend 2022
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 1. The 2022 “Levantine de Musar” pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of mostly tart, red and black fruit: blackberries, raspberries, cherry, some anise, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Overall, a fresh and easy expression Musar that’s great with a variety of fare. Drink now through 2032…but best fresh. — 7 months ago
Domaine des Tourelles
Vallée de la Bekaa Red Blend 2022
Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Syrah 40%, Cindault 15% l, and Cardigan 5%. High altitude vineyards ( 1050 m). Aged 24 months in concrete. Cherries, berries and spices. The tannins have a little rough edge, but the wine has character and would be a great match for many Lebanese dishes. Abv. 13%. — a day ago
Massaya

Notes of Raspberry, stone fruit, and some light spice notes, very refreshing. Not a big Rose fan especially in the winter but went great with the apps a Zahav in Philly.

@Delectable needs to correct the description for this wine as it’s actually a blend of Obaideh, Merwah and Cinsault. Poured into a decanter about three hours prior to service and enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2020 Rosé pours a pale pink color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of golden apple, verbena, a kiss of raspberry, alfalfa, lanolin, dry gravelly earth and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a waxy/oily texture. As usual, these need a pile of air to show their best. Drink now with a decant; better after 2030 and through 2045. — 10 days ago
