Levantine De Musar Red Blend 2021

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours, a ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and significant signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh blackberries, black cherry, mixed flowers, and dry, rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A great sophomore effort of the “Levantine de Musar”. Drink now through 2031.

Great producer, greater having to produce wines in a region of constant chaos.

Hochar Père & Fils Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2005

Medium garnet with a medium wide garnet rim . Quite thick tears . A little high toned with an earthy tobacco , old wood , sous bois , spiced cherry , ripe blackberry note . On the palate this is quite rounded and juicy with sweet tannins spiced red plum , dark cherry and cassis . Ok balanced acidity , slightly warming alcohol . Medium spiced red plum and cherry finish . With more time in the glass this starts to become a little disjointed, I would recommend drinking this at a more or less cellar temperature, which wasn’t the case here . Ready now , still on its plateau of maturity but best from now and over the next 5 or so years . — 24 days ago
