1998 Chateau Musar Rouge, Bekaa Valley
1998 Chateau Musar Rouge, Bekaa Valley
"The cooler 1998 has an elegant Cinsault dominance; the colour is lighter and more delicately perfumed than a typical
vintage. Despite this initial impression, the wine is deceptively powerful with a vibrant acidity and fresh, soft red fruit
flavours and a very long, spicy finish. The ideal partner to mushroom and game dishes."
Chateau Musar Tasting Note
"...the 1998 Ch. Musar from one of the lightest of vintages and as pale a red as Ive ever seen. Theres that instant hit of sweet, ripe Musar fruit backed by notes of spice and vanilla with something savoury, earthy to the finish. Although fully mature, theres still life in it yet and if youre a fan of Musar it will intrigue and delight you."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
"Pale, jewel-bright garnet. Light, spicy, particularly well-integrated nose, already well developed. A sweet start on the palate; the opposite of heavy; a really lovely wine: fresh, sweet, with some very slight mintiness and a dry finish. Very long, and nicely mature: seems just right now. It will go beautifully with food. One of my favourite wines in this collection. Is it the Cinsault I like so much?"
Jancis Robinson, March 2018
