Chateau Musar, Musar Jeune Red, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 2020

Luscious fruit, savoury depth and soft tannins define Musar’s unoaked Cinsault and Syrah-based red, designed to be drunk upon release. An explosion of blue fruit is followed by violet, tapenade, sage and dried mint, with black pepper adding freshness. Alcohol is superbly integrated, making this a juicy, dangerously drinkable wine.
