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

Loved this wine. Winery waits 7 years until release. Opaque in nature, silky tannins, cab franc stands out with its heavy pyrazine character..nice fun balanced win.

At this time the wine is closed and muted. 3 hours later in a decanter the wine is starting to open up, but way to young. Luckily the 99 is next

A great inexpensive wine. We've never had a wine from Lebanon and were pleasantly surprised.
