Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2011

It’s 10 years since Serge. Hochar’s death whilst swimming in Acapulco on NYE 2014 and I think it’s appropriate to celebrate his legacy that is the modern Chateau Musar.
I first tasted Lebanese wines in London circa 1986 when I used to go to a couple of Lebanese restaurants in Shepherds Market near Mayfair in London
Al Hamra is still in business
I’ve been to Beirut several times and always stock up at the airport duty free
So a toast to a departed icon of the wine world
Since my last 2011 4.5 years ago (see note) this has aged wonderfully and I’ve up my rating several points
Another few years and it will be further improved
Optimal decant time was around 3.5 to 4 hours
Ethereal stuff

Faust

Salvation Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

A powerful and expressive red blend from the Faust Estate Vineyard located in the Coombsville sub-AVA, Napa Valley. This is a 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that generously offers a compelling level of red fruits with just-right-ripen cherries.
Both; the nose and palate concours on the concentrated flavors. It has a tremendous mouthfeel with a palpable high acidity, and spices, making it savory enough to either pair it with food or just having as a sipper.
This V.2021 was ranked #4 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2024. The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley was a result of the drought conditions, and the lower-than-average rainfall led to a mild spring/summer, that extended the development of the growing grapes and harvest period. So, wines were more powerful than compared to other recent vintages. Cheers!

Domaine Serge Laloue

Sancerre Pinot Noir 2021

Red from Sancerre. Will wonders never cease? What’s impressive about this effort is how the mild and sunny weather of Loire did not over cook this wine. The flavors are strong, but restrained. It tastes like a lot of work went into getting an excellent balance of cherry, pencil shavings and lively acidity. Serving it a little chilled enhances the experience. — 9 months ago
