Château Musar
Cuvée Blanc White Blend
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
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.

Way less interesting than the rouge. Did not speak to me.

Feb 24th, 2024Musar Blanc is Lebanese Baklava. Dates creamed and spread thin with chunks of pistachios and hazelnut asphalt. Drizzled in honey, splash of perfumed rose water. Sweet, savory stuff.
Beautiful, oxidized, full of strong perfumes. Butterscotch, roasting nuts, crumbly cheeses. It's acidic, salty, drawing Sherry references. Insane concentration, rounding out the tongue peripheries with dried apricot, almond, orange essential oils.
What an impossible gob of imagery.
