2004 Chateau Musar Red Wine – Critics’ High Scores [JG93 D92 WA91]

Experience the Elegance of Château Musar 2004: A Mature Lebanese Masterpiece

Savor a legendary wine from Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley – the critically acclaimed Château Musar 2004. This perfectly matured red blend artfully combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Cinsault, offering a sophisticated drinking experience that has gracefully reached its peak.

Renowned for its remarkable complexity, this vintage unfolds with layered aromas of ripe cherries, black raspberries, and subtle currants, elegantly intertwined with signature notes of Lebanese soil, woodsmoke, sandalwood, and lavender. On the palate, discover a beautifully focused wine: deep, full-bodied, and silky-smooth. Enjoy its core of sweet fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins that provide structure without harshness. Surprising hints of wild garrigue herbs emerge on the finish alongside seductive flavors of dark chocolate, plum, mushroom, and forest floor – a testament to its unique terroir.

Praised by top critics (93pts John Gilman, 92pts Decanter, 91pts Wine Advocate), this 13.5% alcohol wine showcases exceptional finesse and concentration. Unlike bolder Musar vintages, the 2004 is notably graceful and restrained yet profoundly flavorful. It drinks superbly now but promises further evolution over the next decade. Ideal for decanting, it shines alongside rich dishes or enjoyed contemplatively on its own.

A rare opportunity to own a perfectly aged Lebanese treasure – cellar-worthy yet ready to enchant today.
