Chateau Musar Red

Chateau Musar's wines are legendary and for good reason. This 1997 bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan is a library release from the estate. It is simply amazing.  'It was the slowest and best fermentation we have ever had at Chateau Musar, especially between the 15th and 30th September with 80% of the harvest in the cellar. I tasted the wines on the 18th November. Almost all malolactics were finished and wines lookedready for drinking. Very, very beautiful wines and the white wines are just as beautiful as the reds. All wines are big and perfectly balanced whatever the cepage – Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault, Merwah and Obaideh. Definitely a vintage to follow very closely.' – Serge Hochar, November 1997
