Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley 2001

91 Points Decanter

Developed, quite meaty and earthy on the nose, it gets better on the palate. Surprisingly tannic, which is what the makers refer to as 'the Cabernet character'. It retains the Musar character but is definitely more austere. It stayed in good shape days after the bottle was opened, but did not improve after the third day.
