Chateau Musar Vintage 2012 Magnum. Wine Tasting

Chateau Musar Vintage 2012 Magnum. Wine TastingThe 2012 vintage for Chateau Musar was an excellent one with several critics highly rating this wine. It was a very hot year in the Bekaa Valley an as a result the crop was smaller than had been expected. Lovely now or over the next 10 to 15 years. Typical blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan. 150cl magnum bottle. And 14. 5% Bottle condition, capsule good, label good, wine level in neck Tasting Note Chateau Musar Red 2012 has a dark burgundy

no 1975 asperity

A good vintage for the region slightly overshadowed by the previous year

Nose - cigar

and the 1971 Cabernet Sauvignon was entered into the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting

a little simpler than the nose implies with a touch more toffee tending to caramel…perfectly pleasant though

In the mouth

Warm and mouth filling across the palate

These glasses emphasise the minerality of the wine
