The 2020 Chateau Musar Hochar Père et Fils, a blend typically featuring Cinsault, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon, is expected to present a complex and intriguing profile. On the nose, look for an aromatic tapestry of red berries like cherry and cranberry, intertwined with savory notes of dried herbs, tobacco, forest floor, and a hint of exotic spice. The palate should be medium to full-bodied, with a lively acidity that carries flavors of ripe red fruit, plums, and a distinct earthy minerality. Integrated tannins will provide structure, leading to a long, clean finish with lingering notes of spice and a touch of game.
Chateau Musar’s single vineyard red is from old, low-yielding Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon vines near the Bekaa Valley village of Aana, 1000m above sea level. Aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, and made in a non-interventionist way, this rich spicy wine has aromas and flavours of plums, cherries, figs and dates, with hints of thyme.
