May 15, 2012 - Chateau Musar 2000 Red Wine Bekaa Valley - The colour is a deep dark red, perhaps darker than usual at Chateau Musar. The nose is a complex intriguing mixture of figs, prunes, leather, dark tea, tobacco, black olives with spices and a certain earthiness. On the palate, you will find ripe black cherries, figs, damsons-even chocolate and olives. There is good acidity with nice smooth tannins resulting in a wine which full-bodied, rich and velvety with very long length. In summary we feel that the 2000 vintage is a serious wine with serious ageing potential but with a very approachable and open style which makes it perfect for drinking now as well as cellaring. Perhaps more Bordeaux like in character than in previous vintages.

Intruiging and Distinctive
This wine isn't for everyone. In fact, the majority of you reading this review probably wouldn't even enjoy it. For those few wine nerds that, like myself, actually get elated when you smell something rustic or "a little barnyard-y"... find a bottle, eat some lamb, and call it a day.
