2019 Chateau Musar Rouge, Bekaa Valley

"...As you know, Ch. Musar only releases its grand vin once deemed ready to drink, usually after seven years, and this has hit its straps nicely and is raring to go. With record winter rainfall (welcome after several years of drought), budburst was late but, with a perfect June, a fine harvest was promised, and this is a gem.

 The usual blend of Cinsault, Cab Sauv and Carignan, it's a deep red, with hints of tapenade, spice, vanilla, herbs, rich cherries and plums. Drink it now or drink a bottle every six months and see how it changes."
