Chateau Musar, Musar Jeune Rosé, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon 2019

Quite restrained on the nose, with aromas of red berries and citrus. The palate is solidly built but juicy, with similar fruit flavours and a hint of hazelnuts. It is more a suave Spanish clarete than a fashionable Provence rosé. It is made to be drunk young; within two years of the vintage, as it loses its fruit a day after the bottle is opened. But it kept a nice structure, with much freshness and no faulty odours.
