Chateau Musar 1989 is a mature, full-bodied red wine from the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon. Established by Gaston Hochar in 1930. Chateau Musar is without doubt Lebanon`s top wine estate and their flagship red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault from vineyards in the Bekaa Valley and aged in French oak. On the 1989. "The 1989 Château Musar is one of those vintages where the Châteauneuf du Pape similarities are striking, but this is also a vintage where the VA is again a bit prevalent and one’s ultimate enjoyment of the wine is partially predicated on one’s tolerance of volatile acidity. The bouquet is of course, nicely lifted from the VA, offering up a very expressive blend of cherries, raspberries, game, coffee, gently autumnal soil tones and a topnote of garrigue. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and impressively suave on the attack, with a good core, melting tannins and very good length and grip on the complex and moderately volatile finish. Like the 1991, I have scored this in a range, with those who can tolerate a bit more VA likely to find the higher score reflective of the wine." John Gilman, 2017
