1998 Château MUSAR / Lebanon
Arrow

Description

Bottle in good order.
The complete label is slightly creased but this detracts nothing from the quality of the wine within.
The level is at 'base of neck' and the embossed capsule hides a firm cork.

The 1998 vintage is dense crimson in aspect, with developed gamey aromas, vanilla and menthol. Full bodied and vibrant on the palate, with mature plum, blackcurrant, stewed fruits and tobacco.
Well structured, with good length and acidity.

Recommend serving with red meats and hard cheeses.

The Chateau Musar 1998 is made from a blend of grape varieties, principally: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan. The composition varies from one vintage to the next, giving Château Musar a different character and identity each year.

The wine growing region of Chateau Musar- Lebanon’s Western Bekaa Valley, a shallow, fertile basin, running between the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges, has been home to the vine for 6,000 years. Vineyards were commercially exploited here by the sea-faring ancestors of the modern Lebanese, who introduced viticulture to Greece, Egypt and Italy. The Greeks named them ‘Phoenicians’ after the purple dye (‘phoinikèia’) they made from seashells. Famed for being able to revive their cities rapidly after destruction, the Phoenicians inspired the legend of the Phoenix. The region’s wines are mentioned many times in the Bible (as in Hosea 14:7), and Cana, where Christ turned water into wine, is near the southern port of Tyre. Baalbek, originally devoted to Phoenician fertility god Baal, is also the site of a vast Roman temple to wine god Bacchus. French in origin, the Hochar family (pronounced ‘Hoshar’) arrived in Lebanon with the crusades and have remained there ever since.

Getting to maturity now, brick red at rim, depth of colour less than eg 2000, sweet complex intense nose with a lot of fruit still, beautiful delicate flavours, rich and ripe fruit, long, few tannins now, very well balanced. Close your eyes and you are in St Julien Cru Classe territory.

An excellent wine with superb aroma
I had been looking forward to opening this wine since receiving at at Christmas. It is now an absolute favourite, on the nose there is rich plum and fig, there is a real depth of flavour and the wine has plenty of length. I would wholly recommend and will be getting another bottle of this vintage.
