2017 Chateau Musar Rouge, Bekaa Valley (magnum)
"...to the brand new 2017 Chateau Musar itself. As you know, Musar only ever releases its grand vin once it's deemed ready to drink and this is bang on song. A balance of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan, fermented in concrete tanks and aged in oak for a year before blending, it's full of fresh and dried autumnal red/dark fruit, herbs, spice, coffee, leather and tobacco. The tannins are silky soft and there's that typical touch of Musar sweetness before it finishes perfectly dry. I can't imagine anyone not begging for more."
