Chateau Musar Red 2016
An equal blend of Cinsault, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon, from a bakingly hot vintage, it has all the Musar hallmarks of rich, ripe, savoury fruit backed by an underlying sweetness and softness – Jonny Ray, The Spectator, March 2019
The Hochar family has turned out an exceptional 2012 vintage of their flagship wine. Deep in colour, intensely smoky and spicy with black fruit, full body and a finish that lasts and lasts. Unmistakably Musar in style and personality, it is immediately appealing but will age gracefully over the next 10 to 15 years – The Wine Society, June 2019
Dense red, still very young and thick ‘legs’ on the glass showing richness to come, the nose still quite closed with autumnal black stone fruits which show exuberance and spice on the palate with almost a sweet warmth of texture from a small, late and naturally concentrated harvest, not ready yet and needing to lose its ‘puppy fat’ and move into its second decade to show its vineyard character to the full – Steven Spurrier, September 2019

Chateau Musar Red 2016
The newly released 2016 Chateau Musar Red is one of the best young Musars we have tasted. Already drinkable for its richness and sweet fruit, but don't underestimate its ability age: this has 3 decades of development ahead of it.
As usual the wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan from vines over 40 years old, grown at 1,000 metres up in the Bekaa Valley, where there has been viticulture and winemaking for 7,000 years
