Description

The lot consists of two bottles of Chateau Musar from the consecutive vintages of 1989 and 1990.As seen in the tasting notes below,older vintages of Musar can easily be compared to fine top-tier Pomerol,Barolo,or Burgundy wines.


Both these recent tasting notes are taken from CellarTracker:-

"Wow.This was ready to rock with only cursory decanting.Mature crimson color,starting to show brickish,auburn tones.Nose was astoundingly dense and layered straightaway.Starting with light sweet notes of marzipan and almond,this transitioned seamlessly into dark chocolate and brandied cherry,into a full bouquet of anise,thyme,herbs,and finally a great rocky "terra rossa" base.Diverse without ever losing concentration.If you forced me to guess blind,I would have said this was a top-tier Pomerol or Barolo - never Lebanon.The palate was mature,with an echo of the nose's chocolate and brandied cherry flavors,coated with a dusty veneer.Slight tannic bite,but overall I'd say this is drinking perfectly right this moment.Magnificent and a magnificent surprise".
(98 Points).

NINETEENEIGHTYTWO. (Describing the 1989 Musar. CellarTracker 24/2/2013).


And tasting notes for the 1990:-

"Medium color.A soft fresh and aromatic nose of red fruit and dried herbs that would take me immediately to Burgundy.Medium-bodied,not a lot of strength,quite gentle in fact,but fresh and harmonious,if a little one dimensional.A little dry on the finish,but a pleasant drink which I would never tag for Musar.So different to the '91.Very good though and a wine I will be happy to drink again,but suspect if you have any,it is time to drink up.Very good".
(90 Points).
