The nose is a complex intriguing mixture of figs, prunes, leather, dark tea, tobacco, black olives with spices and a certain earthiness. On the palate, you will find ripe black cherries, figs, damsons-even chocolate and olives. There is good acidity with nice smooth tannins resulting in a wine which full-bodied, rich and velvety with very long length. In summary we feel that the 2000 vintage is a serious wine with serious ageing potential but with a very approachable and open style which makes it perfect for drinking now as well as cellaring. Perhaps more Bordeaux like in character than in previous vintages.” – Chateau Musar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hochar family’s philosophy of respect for the environment means that the 180 hectares of Musar vineyards are managed with minimal human interference and all the wines are made naturally. Chateau Musar was the first producer in Lebanon to achieve organic certification for its vineyards in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2000 vintage of Chateau Musar is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan approximately 1\/3rd of each. It was fermented in cement vats and then aged for one year in French nevers oak barriques. It was blended and bottled at the end of the third year following the harvest and aged for a further 3 to 4 years in the cellars of Chateau Musar at Ghazir before its release in May 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled unfined and unfiltered, Chateau Musar Reds are suitable for vegans; they’re also richly-textured and likely to ‘throw a crust’. This is a common feature of most fine wines and is especially true of Musar Red vintages over a decade old. Ideally, bottles should be standing up the night before opening to allow the sediment to settle. After careful decanting (and discarding of sediment, usually in the last centimetre of the bottle) the wine should be allowed to breathe for an hour and served at 18°C with roasts, grills (especially lamb), casseroles, game, and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42986560290901,"sku":"cs_8519","price":4.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/33pmaseap2x0_7f03aa81-33b9-4ee8-bb68-e673bd89f1a8.jpg?v=1789263981","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/chateaumusar-2000-iw5x1y","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
