Chateau Musar Bekaa Valley Red 2000 750 ML

In their youth, Chateau Musar Reds are dense and richly-textured, with intense ?baked fruit? characters: plums, damsons, cranberries, cherries, figs and dates. Bordeaux grape Cabernet Sauvignon lends black fruit flavours; Rh?ne grapes Cinsault and Carignan contribute fragrance (violets; pepper) and supple spiciness. Either set of qualities might dominate a particular vintage, but the style is always emphatically Lebanese: enticingly aromatic, with persistent fruit flavours.
