Chateau Musar (1979) (Only 1 available)

Overview Avery dry and mild year producing a classic, easy-going style of Musar… If I say this wine is easy, it does not mean it is necessarily simple. When you want to describe a wine you can use one word; I prefer to use a billion. Easy is a character. This wine does not jump on you, demand of you, hurt you. Easy does not mean it has no cunning, no power. But drink– It eases itself into you. Do not be deceived by this wine; just because it starts quiet, it does not stop it from becoming so many things. Most of all, it makes you feel good about yourself– Serge Hochar

Grape Varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan

Winemaking Natural yeast fermentation of the three grape varietals in cement vats. Aged for twelve months in French oak. Roughly equal parts are blended together and bottled without fining of filtration three years after the vintage. Bottles are matured in the winery’s cellars for an additional four years. Released in 1986.

Tasting Notes Quite deep colour showing some maturity. A richer and more concentrated version of the 1980, initially quite tannic but acidity fine and soft. Full, ripe and complex- this wine has a lot of depth with a long warm finish.
