Chateau Musar 2000 - Gaston Hocher

This vintage has enjoyed extended cellaring at the chateau and is drinking beautifully right now. This 20 year old wine shows the significant ageing potential of these wines.

Having been fortunate enough to taste the last 10 of the last 20 vintages of Musar, the 2000 in our minds is one of the very best, at an absolutely perfect stage of maturity.

Quite Burgundy-esque on the nose and palate; soft, velvety, peppery, spicy and earthy.The years have been kind and there is still sweet fruit to the fore and succulence on the finish. Dried rose petals, leather and dried fig linger on the tongue. A truly exceptional wine from the world-class estate in Lebannon's Bekaa Valley.
