Product Description
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

Product details
Chateau Musar Red 2017
Our 2017 vintage looks to be very promising indeed, the wines of this year are unique, yet retaining classical Chateau Musar character. Three factors come to our minds, the similarity in style of the different decades ending in 7, the taste of the last vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon harvested and powerful aromas. It has a bright ruby colour and there are sweet red cherries, mulberries and plums on the nose with a hint of tea tree and liquorice. The tannins are soft and well-integrated and this vintage has good acidity, depth of fruit and a long finish. Cellared well, it will age beautifully for decades.
