Chateau Musar 'Musar Jeune' Red Bekaa Valley, Lebanon Bottle:1 Crips and refreshing with aMusar Jeune Red is an unoaked blend of Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon from youthful Bekaa Valley vines. Meant for current consumption within a few years of the harvest this deeply coloured, vividly fruity style, first produced in 2007, may yet prove to be a keeper. Inky dark, silky textured and aromatic, with blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry jam flavours and a warm, spicy finish, it has been likened to a fine Roussillon red.
