- The Cabernet Sauvignon, in particular, flourished this year, from flowering to dominating the final structure and taste of the wine; this vintage has a deep scarlet colour and a nose of blackberries, Assam tea, dark chocolate, and mulled berries. The palate has rich black and red fruits, especially blackcurrants, cherries, damsons, and figs, with warm cinnamon spice and a hint of mint. A smoky earthiness also characterizes this vintage. The tannins are well integrated, with good acidity and a long, dry finish.
Musar only releases its grand vin when it’s ready to drink – there are violets and ripe red berry fruit from Cinsault; spice, liquorice, and burly backbone from Carignan, blackcurrant, blackberry and silky elegance from Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s ready to drink, yes, but there’s no rush - Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine, April 2016

| Winery | Seven years in the making, Chateau Musar Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Cinsault from vineyards near the Bekaa Valley villages of Aana and Kefraya on gravelly soils over limestone. Planted from the 1930s onwards, these mature bush vines (average age: 40 years) yield low: between 15 to 35hl per hectare. |
