Chateau Musar Hochar Père et Fils 2019, hailing from Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, is a remarkable red wine that showcases a unique blend of Cinsault, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Grown at an altitude of 1,000 meters, this wine is crafted using a low intervention approach and is aged for six months in barrels.
With an alcohol content of 13.5%, the wine presents a balanced profile of sweetness and savory notes. It features an intense character without being overwhelming, highlighted by raspberry and blackcurrant flavors, supported by good acidity and firm, slightly dusty tannins. The tasting experience reveals hints of tar and gravel, resulting in a beautifully poised wine. Although warm-climate in nature, it transcends typical sweet fruit profiles, emphasizing excellent tension and acidity. The finish is complemented by a note of damson and a subtle balsamic twist. At around £20, it offers exceptional value and has potential for aging, reminiscent of a classic Super Tuscan style. The wine scores impressively at 93/100, making it a noteworthy choice for wine enthusiasts.
