Top Notes For
Peter van den Besselaar

Vintage 1994 - made of the 3 c's: #cabernetsaugvinon, #cinsault and #carignan. I have a weak spot for Musar. Its colour is lightish brown, tuilé. Easy to be mistaken for old nebbiolo. It's nowadays quite unique to see such colour. The wine smells warm and inviting, and yes, complex. I smell pipetobacco, the sweet, vannila, leather and a forrest with wild mushrooms. A spices warehouse. Rich! On the tongue a attack of satin, só smooth, nice sweetness and compelling attractive bitters at the end. A marvelous wine, now 23 years old. Elegance ánd finesse. #musar #lebanon #happiness
