Chateau Musar Red 1997

  • Country Lebanon
  • Region Bekaa Valley
  • Grape Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan
  • Case size 6/75
  • Abv 14%
  • A rich, warm colour, now paling towards the rim, with a smoky nose full of spices and fruits. On the palate, there are mixed berry fruits – cherries, redcurrants, pomegranates, and Christmas spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Good acidity with good tannin levels results in a wine of classic structure with long ageing potential.Very light in colour with maturity on the rim: salmon ruby. Surprisingly intense and concentrated nose with strong ash and autumnal smells, great acidity, damp leaves, and old bonfires. On the palate, it is a lovely fruit with a long finish that goes through several evolutions (one of which develops old pomegranate flavours) in the longest aftertastes of any Musar. A full mouthfeel defies the lightness of the wine. It's almost chewy in texture. Intense, volatile acidity – Bartholomew Broadbent, October 2019

It was the slowest and best fermentation we have ever had at Chateau Musar, especially between the 15th and 30th of September, with
80% of the harvest is in the cellar. I tasted the wines on the 18th of November. Almost all malolactic was finished, and wines looked
ready for drinking. Very, very beautiful wines and the white wines are just as beautiful as the reds. All wines are big and perfectly
balanced, whatever the cepage – Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault, Merwah, and Obaideh. A vintage to follow
very closely – Serge Hochar, November 1997
