9.0

Going through the old stash, drinking nicely. Earthy but light on its feet, complexity just enough to make it interesting with mature dark red fruit notes and medium finish. — 2 months ago

Château Musar

Hochar Père & Fils Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2019

ESF
9.1

Traditional Bordeaux style, old school presentation: red currants, cigar box, herbs, red fruit, some cassis, Left Bank nose & palate. Full bodied, elegant, lovely integrated tannins. Supple delicious and a solid offering from a venerable producer from Lebanon — 20 days ago

@ESF, it’s been many years since I’ve had any of these Hochar wines, they used to be widely available and really inexpensive in NYC back in the 1980s. . . .

Post Flirtation Zinfandel - Carignan Blend 2022

From Vanderbilt Ave. Wine Merchants. The first time I had this it was the 2021 vintage and was like 90% sediment. This bottle barely has any sediment and tastes like fresh cranberry-orange juice. Wine lol 🤷🏻‍♀️ — a month ago

2014 drunk in mid-2024. Tannins softening nicely. Plenty of life left in this. Alcohol hit hard, but didn’t taste unbalanced. — 16 days ago

Clos Fantine

Faugères Natural Wine Carignan Blend 2020

Went really well with duck breast. Has effervescence combined with an almost “meaty” flavor. Exotic and yet I kept coming back for more… — a month ago
