Carignan

Château Musar

Hochar Père & Fils Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2017

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose of red and black fruits with light wood, wild flowers, spices, coffee, herbs, earth and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, light forest floor and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy pomegranates.

This 9 year old red blend from Lebanon is still young and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years. Showing good potential to become a 93+ point wine.

Needed 3 hours to open up properly, fresh and easy drinking.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault. Aged in concrete vats and French oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$75.

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 1978

I do love Musar. The bottle variations can throw you for a loop, but this one came out with a beautiful nose and a great palate. I sampled it by CoraVin the morning before taking it to Eulalie in Tribeca for dinner with old mates visiting from London who love Musar as much or more than I do. It had beautiful color and was translucent. I must have jostled it too much on the subway downtown because when we opened it, it was cloudy and had some fine sedement. Did not decant but allowed it to evolve over a couple of hours. I have a couple more bottles and will look forward to trying them. Enjoyed with lamb dishes and quail stuffed with foie gras and other offal. Delicious! — a month ago

Roc d'Anglade

Vin de Pays du Gard Carignan Blend

Vibrant ruby with pure cherry, wild strawberry, and blackberry fruit. Subtle garrigue herbs, cinnamon spice, and a hint of licorice emerge on the nose and juicy mid-palate. Fine, velvety tannins, bright tangy acidity, and saline-mineral finish give tension and length—elegant Languedoc finesse. — 8 months ago
