The red wine Château Musar Rouge, vintage 1998 from the winery Château Musar has been rated in 2022 by Peter Moser with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan from the region Bekaa plain in Lebanon.
Medium carmine in colour with garnet reflections and a broad ochre rim. Sweet caramel nuances on the nose mingle with pickled cherries and roasted aromas - an inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant and fresh on the palate with a finesse-rich acidity and ripe tannins. The texture is mineral and balanced, with some animalistic nuances on the finish which lingers well. A clear food companion with a salty finish, very typical Musar. (Drink - 2030).
More about the tastingBright, light garnet red, brick-colored reflections and rim. Cassis, red berries and plums flow from the glass, along with a hint of vanilla, tobacco and spices. Well-structured with red fruits, fine acidity and well-integrated tannins. Long, slightly mineral finish with hints of sage and eucalyptus. Already an exceptional wine and good food companion (lamb, venison), even if, according to Serge Hochar, it has not yet reached its peak. Great ageing potential.
