Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2011

It’s 10 years since Serge. Hochar’s death whilst swimming in Acapulco on NYE 2014 and I think it’s appropriate to celebrate his legacy that is the modern Chateau Musar.
I first tasted Lebanese wines in London circa 1986 when I used to go to a couple of Lebanese restaurants in Shepherds Market near Mayfair in London
Al Hamra is still in business
I’ve been to Beirut several times and always stock up at the airport duty free
So a toast to a departed icon of the wine world
Since my last 2011 4.5 years ago (see note) this has aged wonderfully and I’ve up my rating several points
Another few years and it will be further improved
Optimal decant time was around 3.5 to 4 hours
Ethereal stuff

At The [Running] Footman in Mayfair with Sly and Eugene. This was a great Pomerol. Lush but balanced; a ripe style with earthy notes. Good with our Scottish roast beef ... — 3 years ago

Chanin

La Rinconada Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Another fabulous Chanin wine 😍

This PN was a lovely warm up to the crazy 🇦🇺 filet steak @ Cut 45 Park Lane, Mayfair

Didn’t take notes as Mrs Es birthday but it was very aromatic, full of balanced fruits with a lovely smooth long finish 👍

Just love their labels 👏

Bit overpriced @ £150 in restaurant but worth it 😁 I’ll try & hunt now to review properly 😎

Happy Sunday fellow wine lovers 😘

Château Lagrezette

Château Lagrezette Cahors Malbec Blend 2010

Almost pitch black in colour - very dense. Barb said Liquorice and Dark Chocolate - also lashings of blackberry. Extremely rich, concentrated fruit. Possibly the richest most full bodied French dry red I’ve ever had. Interesting to compare with the Catena Zapata Malbec a week ago. The Argentinian Malbec coming from high country was more elegant. I must try more Malbec from Cahors. Made for a BBQ Steak. A silky palate finishing with very dry tannins. Bought at Hedonism in Mayfair London several years ago. I have never seen this producer available in Australia. — 2 years ago

Bob ….please Google Cahors and Cassoulet.
This will give ideas.
Roasted low and slow many hours will be perfect with French Malbec.
