The Story

The red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault. Serge Hochar, who has been involved with the property since 1959, states that the Cabernet Sauvignon provides "the bones and the skeleton to the wine, the Carignan the flesh and muscle and the Cinsault the silky smooth finesse".

Musar wines are unique in that Hochar blends the varietals only after they have spent three years in barrels and then waits a further four years befor...

Written Notes

The vines that provided the grapes they were able to harvest were between 50 and 70 years of age. Ruby/garnet in color, the nose is dominated by red fruits with spicy notes, leather, bay leaves, warm earth and tobacco box hints. Attractive cherry notes on the palate. Serious concentration, balance, and intensity that travels the full length of the wine.

Good complexity is already evident, and it finishes with plenty of grip. Unquestionably, a good future. Sure, perhaps a little more rustic than those who like the squeaky clean may prefer, but this is a wine full of interest. The longer you can give it in your cellar, the better. 94 for me, though this should improve with time.

Good looking magnum size bottle, in an excellent condition and has by the neck level. Colour is and looking healthy, bright and deep. On the nose it is open, intense, complex, seductive and generous. The taste is rich, focused, and medium-dry, with silky tannins, full-bodied, with satin texture, well-structured structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has voluptuous, tropical fruits, perfumed, blackberry, licorice, meaty, mineral and leather flavours. The finish is medium long, extensive, lingering and flavorful. This wine is transparent, excellent and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 2h before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
