Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2011

It’s 10 years since Serge. Hochar’s death whilst swimming in Acapulco on NYE 2014 and I think it’s appropriate to celebrate his legacy that is the modern Chateau Musar.
I first tasted Lebanese wines in London circa 1986 when I used to go to a couple of Lebanese restaurants in Shepherds Market near Mayfair in London
Al Hamra is still in business
I’ve been to Beirut several times and always stock up at the airport duty free
So a toast to a departed icon of the wine world
Since my last 2011 4.5 years ago (see note) this has aged wonderfully and I’ve up my rating several points
Another few years and it will be further improved
Optimal decant time was around 3.5 to 4 hours
Ethereal stuff

Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir

Very much my kinda wine. Focused fruit and lithe acidity. Pretty firm tannins, so I went back and bought 3 bottles of the 2016 hoping they integrated somewhat more. — 3 years ago

Olivier Morin

Olympe Bourgogne Chitry Blanc Chardonnay 2019

Good quality Bourgogne blanc with burgundy funk on the nose, ripe lush orchard fruits, a tiny tad of sweetness, hay, medium acidity, mineral structure and pretty long lingering finish. Very enjoyable and coming together nicely after 5 years. — 8 months ago

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

@Estiatorio Milos in Miami enjoying this lovely Sancerre with our Dover Sole and Branzino. This has got to be the lightest, feathery Sancerre we’ve ever had. Sancerre is my favorite for many reasons. Just a beautiful wine for any time of year but beckons you to the beach and a warm breeze. — 2 years ago

St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Smooth tannins, and wonderfully dry mouthfeel. Would go great with a steak. Purchased from Whole Foods on sale for $27. I’ll buy more, for sure — 3 years ago
