CHATEAU MUSAR JEUNE ROUGE 75CL 14%

Musar Jeune Red is a deep scarlet colour with a beguiling, smokey, black fruit nose, showing rich blackberry and mulberry notes tinged with spice. A good concentration of pure, black and red cherry fruit on the palate is supported by a juicy, fresh acidity. With its soft tannins, it is balanced and long and best enjoyed in its youth.Country: LebanonRegion: Bekaa ValleyVintage: 2018Colour: RedGrape Variety: Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon ABV: 14%Bottle Size: 75clClosure: Natural corkStyle: Rich and spicyVegetarian: Yes (not certified)Vegan: Yes (not certified)Organic: Yes (certified)Drink With: Grilled and roasted meats, especially lamb dishes and cheeses TAB 2The Musar Jeune Red 2018 is a blend of old vine Cinsault (50%), Syrah (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) grown in organically certified vineyards. The climatic conditions, in particular the heat, this year favoured the Syrah which showed a great concentration of colour, taste and aromas. The Syrah vines were planted in 2001 and they now have enough age to provide greater complexity and power.After fermentation and a period of maturation, the three grape varieties were blended in March 2019, then rested in concrete vats before being bottled during the summer.Why we like this wine; Chateau Musar has become something of an icon wine over the last decades yet such is its price these days for mature vintages, this youngster gives everyone the opportunity to see what all the fuss is about before breaking investing in its bigger brother. It is made with the same care and affection but is like a watercolour painting to an oil. Both can be great art but one is more imposing than the other at times.?Good value for the Chateau, Ripe and juicy. Designed for early drinking. This Lebanese red is ripe and juicy in style, unoaked and has an abundance of cassis, raspberry and cherry jam flavours that are balanced by mouth-watering tannins and a lingering spicy finish. This Cinsault/Syrah/Cabernet Sauvignon Blend is delicious served with lamb koftas and roasted root vegetables.
