ChateauMusar,1970RedWine

Sans

A rare bottle of 1970 Chateau Musar.Notes from Chateau Musar: Mistakenly, the most Bordeaux wine I ever made. This was unintentional. I was trying to reflect Lebanon in all its guises, all itsaspects. It had more Cabernet Sauvignon than any wine I’ve ever made, but this was when I could play as I wanted – there were norules to command me, so I just blended according to my palate – Serge Hochar
