1998 Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

The 1998 Musar Red is an elegant and fragrant Cinsault dominated vintage, mainly due to the cooler conditions. It shows wonderfully developed gamey aromas, is well structured and  has a vein of finely poised acidity running through it.  Medium bodied with great length.  The vintage was, by Lebanese standards, cold, with rainy weather that lasted until June (resulting in late flowering), leading to a summer that was sunny and dry.

2018 Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley

Red Blend

The 2018 Chateau Musar is a rich and concentrated style, partly due to a 3 day heatwave in August when temperatures reached 40 degrees celcius! Dried cherries, plum and dark berry fruits dominate the nose along with leather, tobacco and spice.  The palate is concentrated showing rich, raisin like depth and tremendous length.  This powerful Musar shows a great deal of development now but will continue to develop for years to come.

2020 Jeune Rouge, Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley

Red Blend

This wine is deep purple in colour with aromas of cherry, ripe berry fruits and violet notes on the nose. On the palate it is unoaked wine, wonderfully fresh and full of ripe blueberry fruit. Good acidity keeps the wine vibrant within a medium to full bodied textured palate.
