My first #chateaumusar - taciturn black fruit, cassis, sous bois on the nose. Palate with conspicuous acidity up front, sturdy tannins mid-palate on the finish. Delicious wine now but easily could cruise 10 to 15 years longer. Fascinating 50% #cinsault 40% #grenache 10% #cabernetsauvignon — 4 months ago

Once it’s opened up, this dark #malbec #pinotage #cinsault blend presents a deep well of blackberry and cassis fruit aromas plus a slight nail polish scent which I find pleasant as it’s subtle. Less fruit than you expect on the palate, some cocoa and bitter coffee flavors towards the end trailed by soft light tannins; juicy acidity throughout. Yum! #wsjwineclub — 4 years ago

Vintage 2014 - #cinsault #syrah #cabernetsauvignon Brushwood in smell, Raspberries in smell and in taste. Great balance. I have had Musar Jeune and thought it not very special, but after tasting a lot of #lebanonwine this wine next to them really shows the craftmanship of Musar. — 6 years ago

#blend of 28% #Syrah, 26% #Grenache, 24% #Carignan, 15% #Cinsault and 7% #Mourvèdre, all aged a year in older demi-muids and 500-liter casks. 13.5% alcohol, medium-bodied, even hollow on mid-palate. It's red-fruited and has overtones of savory spice (think salami, cracked pepper and star anise) and a bright, juicy medium finish #languedocrousillon #languedoc #suddefrance #france #larsac #terrassesdularsac — 4 years ago

Vintage 2014 / #cinsault attractive wine that reminds me of Cru de Beaujolais because it is elegant and energizing but with a lightness that is lovely. Cherries. Pomegranate. Licorice. — 5 years ago

Vintage 2006 - always special to taste Musar. Made from the three C’s #cinsault #carignan #cabernetsauvignon Mature smell with richness, a lot of complexity, the wine is in smell and taste warm as well as multi- layered. Plums also. Nice to taste Musar again. #lebanonwine — 6 years ago

My second bottle of this #malbec #pinotage #cinsault blend - still like it a lot for the price. Blackberry jam, cassis, slight leather, cocoa aroma; less of the nail polish aroma once it airs out. Bitter cocoa, coffee notes along with the fruit and lush acidity and neat tannins fading into a long finish. #wsjwineclub — 4 years ago

Vintage 2014 This #Lirac is made of #grenache #syrah #cinsault. it has a nice perfume from elegant raspberries and morello cherries. Very seductive. And a smooth taste. Great ‘little’. #Rhone wine! — 6 years ago

Vintage 1994 - made of the 3 c's: #cabernetsaugvinon, #cinsault and #carignan. I have a weak spot for Musar. Its colour is lightish brown, tuilé. Easy to be mistaken for old nebbiolo. It's nowadays quite unique to see such colour. The wine smells warm and inviting, and yes, complex. I smell pipetobacco, the sweet, vannila, leather and a forrest with wild mushrooms. A spices warehouse. Rich! On the tongue a attack of satin, só smooth, nice sweetness and compelling attractive bitters at the end. A marvelous wine, now 23 years old. Elegance ánd finesse. #musar #lebanon #happiness — 7 years ago
