Gaston Hochar Grand Cru Red Blend 2010

Nice, though not really especially recognizable as Musar. Perhaps that will come with some more age, this was an early try. Would have guessed Nebbiolo blind. On day 2 the more intense herbal / spice / tannic structure comes through more which points in a different direction. Good pairing with a chicken, caramelized onion, and apricot “tachin” on New Year’s Eve. — 5 days ago

Young. Mark my words, this vintage may go down in history as one of the very greatest Musar’s, ever

@Jay Kline don’t doubt it. Look forward to future bottles…but maybe in 7-10 years.

It’s been many years since I’ve had any Musar wines, I have very fond memories drinking them in the 1980s when we lived in NYC and they were pretty easy to find at retail!!

@Anthony De Blasi, BTW, do you know what the cepage is in this wine?

@Doug Powers indeed, it’s a great winery with iconic wines. The cepage is Cab Sauv, Cinsault and Carignan. I still have the 2011 in magnum for my daughter her birthyear 🤩

Cuvée Blanc White Blend 2009

Golden, beautifully matured with all the love you could squeeze out of fresh sour apricots, syrupy canned peaches, perfumed black cherries, and all the things that oxygen brings.

Apricots first, then a lifted VA note that folds into a nutty sticky caramel apple thing.

It's more perfumed and full of acid and life then you'd ever imagine despite a tired ale color. Amazing stuff.

Vintage 1998 | a world of difference drinking Musar on itself (difficult) and with food (absolute tremendous). Tertiary smell, supple and refined taste. Paired with game croquettes. — a month ago

Levantine De Musar Red Blend 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 1. The 2022 “Levantine de Musar” pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of mostly tart, red and black fruit: blackberries, raspberries, cherry, some anise, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Overall, a fresh and easy expression Musar that’s great with a variety of fare. Drink now through 2032…but best fresh. — a month ago

Château de Fieuzal

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

2014 vintage. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Stephen Carrier opted for very gentle extractions for this vintage, looking for a balance,maybe sacrificing a bit of power to preserve the fruit. It seems to have been a wise decision, this 2014 is ready to go, fully mature, with soft tannins balancing the fruit and spices. Very good length also. A great Fieuzal to drink now. Interestingly, it reminds me somehow of Château Musar. Abv. 13,5%. — 4 months ago
