Smooth right out of the bottle. Limestone, blackberries, and prunes. With a little spice at the end. — 4 months ago

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

Red from Sancerre. Will wonders never cease? What’s impressive about this effort is how the mild and sunny weather of Loire did not over cook this wine. The flavors are strong, but restrained. It tastes like a lot of work went into getting an excellent balance of cherry, pencil shavings and lively acidity. Serving it a little chilled enhances the experience. — 6 months ago
Smooth tannins, and wonderfully dry mouthfeel. Would go great with a steak. Purchased from Whole Foods on sale for $27. I’ll buy more, for sure — 2 years ago
Good quality Bourgogne blanc with burgundy funk on the nose, ripe lush orchard fruits, a tiny tad of sweetness, hay, medium acidity, mineral structure and pretty long lingering finish. Very enjoyable and coming together nicely after 5 years. — 3 months ago
