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.

1999 Privado Anada Valsardo, Bodegas Valsardo

Tempranillo

White Blend

This fully mature skin contact (Orange wine) from Georgia is a bit of a bargain if you like this style of wine.  Plenty of stone fruit flavours, a good dollop of funkiness and some savoury, fatty texture on the finish.  Pop a glass with virtually anything from Ottolenghi and you'll be a happy hipster!
