Vintage 2007 | in a recent blind tasting I did not recognize the white Musar. The organizer said: drink this one time and you will never forget. I do not agree. It’s special. It is an experience. But just like the red this Musar can have many faces. I liked the 2007. Well balanced, mild power, good acidity. Fine bitters in aftertaste. Lots of character. Easily a wine when tasted blind you can fool your friends. My wine friends said viura in majority. | paired with sushi — 13 days ago

This is simply sumptuous. Such an elegant and rich mouthfeel, and such depth of flavor. Grippy tannins, so decant this: let it breathe and loosen up. It’s delicious! — a month ago

The Lebanese should spend more money on production of wine and a lot less on rockets 🚀 being fired into Israel. The wine was surprisingly very good. — 2 months ago

Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of four hours. The 2020 Musar Jeune Rouge pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of currants, blackberries, black cherry, Tootsie Roll, dried leaf tobacco, underbrush and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Against a lineup of pretty serious wines, this more than held its own. In fact, I found myself coming back to it over and over. As Musar’s most humble wine, “Jeune” is a wonderful representation of the overall quality of Musar. Drink now through 2030. — a month ago

Beautiful wine. Slightly prefer the 1999, which I had last night. The ‘99 was musty and tasted lots of mushrooms. The ‘01 is still earthy, but fruitier. Dark fruits, with a bit of tobacco and cedar. — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Better on Day 2. The 2017 Rosé pours a unique copper gold color with medium viscosity; no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is developing with fascinating notes of black lemon, bruised pink apple, raspberry, marjoram, tarragon, and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with perceptible but low tannin and high acid. Confirming the notes on the nose with the addition of a somewhat nutty characteristic reminiscent of spiced almonds. The finish is medium+ and savory. A wine for thinking. Similar to the R. Lopez de Heredia wines: if you like the white, you will like the rosé. Just lovely. Drink now with patience and a slight chill; best after 2027 through 2037. — 4 months ago

Une belle robe foncée avec des reflets violets. Un nez de tapenade d'olive, de cuir, de prune avec une touche d'eucalyptus. La bouche est ronde, soyeuse et ronde. Les tanins sont collants. Très agréable. Grenache noir 40%, Syrah 30% et Mourvèdre 30%. — 2 months ago

Verticals tasting 2019/2013/10/07/2004. At London Wine Fair. 2004 still had fruit and tannins so beautifully smooth. The 2019 was drinkable now but it would be a shame not to age it a few more years. Very surprised at the longevity. — 4 months ago
