#AgedWineTuesday Light ruby in color with medium intensity. Dry on the palate with a great nose. Showing blue and black fruits with tobacco, cedar, leather, chocolates, licorice, spices, earth, herbs, light vinaigrette, wet leaves and peppercorn. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. This is a great Cabernet based blend from Lebanon. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient. This 22 year old is easy drinking, spicy and interesting and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years. The 1999 vintage was a great one in Lebanon, and it is showing so nicely now. I had it all by itself, but good with food too. Elegant and delightful. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault. 13.5% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $80.

The nose is very harsh. With a strong earthiness and dirty socks. However the pairing with dates and lamb work well with the Lebanese origin.

One of the better bottles of 99 I’ve had. Gorgeous sweet cherry, leather, earth, and herbs. Fabulous finish.

Oh Chateau Musar how I love thee! This bottle has been open for two days and it still is bursting with all the flavors you remember and a few more! 1999 was the year that Lance Armstrong won his first Tour de France and SpongeBob made his debut. Predictably SpongeBob and this wine are still going strong!

Very pronounced brett and old saddle aromatics. Dusty gravel-like mouthfeel, wrapped in silky and rather sweet tannins. The acidity isn’t quite as present as more classic vintages. Perhaps not the most fine-tuned Musar red I’ve had but it’s immensely quirky, interesting and complex just as it is.

Blue fruit, gravel mid palate, light tannin. High pitched wine in need of further maturation.
