In youth, Chateau Musar reds are dense and richly-textured with intense 'baked fruit' characters: plums, damsons, cranberries, cherries, figs and dates. Bordeaux grape cabernet sauvignon lends black fruit flavours; Rhone grapes cinsault and carignan contribute fragrance (violets; pepper) and supple spiciness. Either set of qualities might dominate a particular vintage, but the style is always emphatically Lebanese: enticingly aromatic with persistent fruit flavours. Over decades the wines acquire tawny hues and mellow notes. Served at 18 degrees Celsius with roasts, grills (especially lamb), casseroles, game and mature cheeses.
