Grande Réserve Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Truly luscious and beautiful. If this wine had a Rhone label it would easily be a $100 bottle. There is a deep and lovely personality to this wine: textured, nuanced and full. — 8 months ago

Vallée de la Bekaa Vieilles Vignes Cinsault

Apparently this is one of the 101 wines to drink you before you die! Cinsault grape, they looked for vines over 50years in age, bit of tart cherry, well rounded, hasn't revealed itself but am excited to crack on! — 6 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Rosé Blend 2018

This is the BEAUTIFUL 2018 Chateau Musar Gaston Hochar made from a blend that includes Obaideh and Merwah, indigenous white grape varieties, with a touch of Cinsault for color.

It has a deep salmon hue with complex aromas & flavors including expressive notes of licorice, anise, fennel, bruised apple, honeydew, Smarties®, dried chamomile, white tea, baked peach, lily, menthol, mint, mandarin peel, orange pith, almond skin, hazelnut, honeycomb, crushed stone, pool toy, vanilla, & acrylic paint.

On the palate this wine is dry, with crisp acidity, a creamy and textured mouthfeel, medium alcohol (12.5% ABV), and a persistent finish.

With each sip, it reveals layers, dimension after dimension. It’s a lovely, cerebral, and gastronomic wine. The culmination of history and artistry in the glass; a testament to the enduring passion, resilience, and soul of the Hochar family.

Ixsir

El Ixsir Syrah Blend 2015

Forgot to photo-quite an intriguing, fresh Syrah blend from Lebanon, like a second cousin once removed from Northern Rhone. Needs air to calm down a bit, not quite pop & pour. Punchy red fruits, medium acidity, it made for good company to Middle Eastern fare with the locals (&family) at Neni restaurant, in Amsterdam. — 3 years ago

Musar Jeune Rouge Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2020

Blend is actually 50% Cinsault, 35% Syrah and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very dark inky ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of black and blue berry fruit, violets and tobacco. The rich palate features flavors of cooked black cherry, blueberry and black berry/currant fruit with notes of sweet spices and black pepper. Long and lingering finish and a lovely soft/silky texture. No sign of oak aging. Acidity is plentiful but well balanced. Quite fresh and bright! Solid QPR. — 8 months ago
