...Its balance, combining the nice fruit, elegant mid-palate, persistent finish and backbone, gives it a tightly wound, precise and focused demeanor... Overall, it is an exceptionally graceful, somewhat modern and restrained Musar, bright, with that silky texture... The cherry on top is the intensity of fruit flavor – bursts of delicious and juicy fruit on the finish, admittedly nuanced by some of the gamey notes I see here so often. Call it raspberry flavored, though, because the fruit is delicious... Drink now-2021. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Better the next day. The Bekka Valley is now filled with hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees. This bottle is a time capsule of a more peaceful time. Dark and rich and sublime and so well balanced.

An unctuous treat which is an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault - the historic house from Lebanon delivers another lovely wine that will reveal itself event better with food - tannins start to be more rounder and making me hungry for more
