Working my way through this - the delicious Chateau Musar from The Lebanon... years ago I was advised to drink this whilst I could, as the vineyard was either likely to be banned by the Muslims or bombed by the Israelis. Luckily neither has come to pass, although sadly the great winemaker Serge Hochar sadly passed away in 2014...
Fruity, spicy, complex but elegant- thoroughly and highly recommended
Chateau Musar Gaston Hochar is fantastic. Such a unique red unlike any other (I'm not as big a fan of the white -- it's too oxidized for my taste).
I learned of Chateau Musar when I was traveling regularly to the Middle East about a decade ago. Whenever I flew through DXB, I picked up a few bottles from duty free on each trip -- $20 for a 750ml and $30 for 1.5L magnum. An absolute steal. Loaded up on the 1999 (the vintage available at the time) and still have a few of them left in the cellar.
This apocalyptic waiting game for the election results is getting hard--but at least we were prepared.
Microbrew from South Africa's West Coast. Love the label design on this one. Perfect for a braai!
