Chateau Musar Bekaa Valley Rouge 2000 750ml
Local Delivery, Store Pickup, Standard Domestic Shipping
$203.99
At over 20 years after the vintage release, the 2000 holds on to its primary fruit whilst really starting to reveal the classic Musar identity, balancing out the characteristic sweet spice and desiccated fruit notes with more evolved elements of leather, tar, tobacco and a hint of game. These complex aromas and flavours are lifted with a fresh lick of acidity that will ensure the wine will continue to age gracefully for years to come.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan

| Overview | Average rainfall in winter with some cold days, followed by pleasant weather which allowed flowering to develop well in the spring. However, things started to deviate from the norm with the arrival of summer; July was unusually hot with some very dry days when temperatures exceeded 35°C, followed by a hotter than average August. Harvest started on the 6th September, one week earlier than usual. The crop was healthy and quality good but yields were downby15%.Thegrapes were sweet but tannic with good acidity. |
| Winemaking | Fermentation progressed well- slowly with very little heat as it was naturally under control. Interestingly, the level of alcohol was higher than usual- almost the same as 1999. All in all, it was an easy harvest and an easy fermentation with hardly any problems and malolactic fermentation followed its normal course. |
