Château Musar
Bekaa Valley Red Blend
1995 vintage. This bottle isn't as spectacular as the 1997 I've had recently, but it's still a great wine. High-toned nose with a level of volatile acidity that typically creates heated debates. It might turn off enologists, but enchant old-school Rioja lovers. Being more on the latter's side, this wine delivers on sheer complexity and length in an absolutely unique style. Well worth seeking out.

Oct 15th, 2019I wasn't really sure what this wine was when I tried it. Rich, complex, slightly heavy. Maybe an Amarone. Wrong texture though. Musar stumps everyone, apparently. This one tasted at its peak and I'm interested in trying other vintages.

In the mouth the wine is everything you want from Musar. Stunning fruit, cedar, a bit of barnyard and dried flowers. Incredibly complete and delicious. There's a phenomenal salinity to the wine with a faint powdery tannin.
