Château Musar
Bekaa Valley Red Blend
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
Decanted for around an hour, the 2015 Chateau Musar showed quite differently throughout the evening - at times effusive, at others more reserved - but at its best was a glamorous young wine with elegance and great tension.
The nose was exotic, as is often the case with Musar, with aromas of cassis, cedar, vanilla and soy. The palate is explosive and demands food at this embryonic age, totally saturated with ripe cherry, fig and orange zest.
This should age rather well, but that’s hardly a bold statement for Musar!
