Description
Upon release, this was a classic vintage of Musar – the fruit quite light with strawberry and cassis flavours which gave way to dry tannin and an unusual rose-hip note; lovely balance and weight in the mouth.
With time in the bottle this has developed a more savoury, garrigue note and hints of cigar box, leather with the faintest eucalyptus edge. Development of the fruit comes through in the glass and hits the palate with a lively acidity and classic sweet/spice finish.
Seven years in the making, Chateau Musar Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault from vineyards near the Bekaa Valley villages of Aana and Kefraya on gravelly soils over limestone. Planted from the 1930s onwards, yields are low from these mature bushvines (average age: 40 years): Between 15 to 35hl per hectare.
