Château Musar Red 2003 - Château Musar

Château Musar was founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar, aged 20, inspired by Lebanon's ancient winemaking tradition and by Bordeaux. His son Serge Hochar became Decanter's first ever Man of the Year in 1984, and Musar's flagship red is one of the world's most celebrated, long-lived wines.

Château Musar Red 2003 blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan in roughly equal parts from the Bekaa Valley, 14% ABV. Beautiful deep ruby, with aromas of cherries, cassis, liquorice root and blueberries; fruity on the palate with blueberry, cherry and violet, excellent acidity and fine tannins. Properly stored it can age for decades; this 2003 is a mature vintage for collectors.

Serve at 18 °C.
