Natural Cork

Lebanon

The 2004 Musar (a blend of Cabernet with Cinsault and Carignan) is deep red but now limpid rather than opaque, with raspberry, pomegranate and date-paste scents.  On the tongue, it’s soft, voluptuous and sweetly graceful, with a gentleness of fruit articulation and a lightness of touch which marks it out from its peers. The shapely, high-toned acids are as prominent as the tannins in this wine, though those tannins still have some true Bekaa ‘cut’ to them; there are chocolate, plum, mushroom and undergrowth flavours in this seductive, moreish wine.  I also had a chance to taste the 2009, but the 2004 seemed much the better of the pair.
