2013 Château Musar Rouge, Serge Hochar, Bekaa Valley
Château Musar is unique: something you realise from the moment you bring the glass close to your nose. Notes of victoria plum and figs, and so much exotic spice, it’s a hedonistic, opulent bouquet. The palate is structured yet fine, with grippy, grainy tannins that coat the mouth, and a fine thread of vibrant acidity. It’s a long, focussed, delicious wine, from a legendary producer.
