Browny red colour, raisins on the nose with a bit of spice and alcohol. Full bodied, plummy and sweet tannins on the ban of the tongue balancing it all. Classic.

Thanks to my friend Mike Maloy...didn't expect this Lebanese offering to open up and deliver. He promised it would.. And it did.

Wow! Just popped and it's in great shape. Really good and interesting. Bright red fruit with high acidity, a pronounced cured black olive note, and a bit of menthol are what I gather now. I'm sure this will open and reveal more.

Could only be Musar. 2003 Hochar is at its peak I should think. Hi toned nose and sweet candied red fruit on the palate.
