2017 Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
Mature ruby with brick tints. The nose shows ripe black cherries, figs, damsons, chocolate and olives. The palate is full bodied, rich with dried fruits and good acidity and with smooth tannins on the long finish.

Vinous
The 2017 Château Musar has a perfumed bouquet with well-defined plummy red fruit, fireside embers and pressed flower scents. A hint of VA in the background gives the aromatics a welcome kick. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and well-judged acidity, harmonious, not powerful, yet full of flavor. A pleasing bitterness surfaces towards the finish, with moderate persistence and a residual white pepper tang lingering in the mouth. Very nice.
