TASTING NOTES:
Initial thoughts placed it as a light wine for early drinking, but after the changes witnessed in the cellars, the wines took on a new life and filled-out. Dried fruit note of fig and dates with the characteristic sweet spice and hint of bitter chocolate delivered on the palate. Velvety in the mouth, round, full-bodied and long finish.

BRAND NAME:
Château Musar
Château Musar
In 1930, at just 20 years old, Gaston Hochar founded Chateau Musar, inspired by Lebanon’s 6,000-year winemaking tradition and his travels in Bordeaux. His ‘wines with noblesse’ greatly impressed senior officers in the army following on from the French mandate of the 1920s. Major Ronald Barton, of Château Langoa-Barton, stationed in Lebanon during World War II became a great friend, strengthening the links between Chateau Musar and Bordeaux that remain to this day.
