    2001 Chateau Musar, Bekka Valley Lebanon



    Bought a bottle on a whim from Waitrose.

    Was concerned about the fragile state and integrity of the cork (in fact the importers state that the cork must be removed with a 2-prong wine opener).

    I didn't have such an opener, so gambled on using my trusty lever corkscrew




    Whilst fully saturated, the cork came out in one piece. Next stage was to decant the wine as there was some sediment.

    As to the wine itself - well I haven't enjoyed a bottle like this for a long time now. I only wish I had bought a few more at the time.
    I have always had a high regard for Lebanese wine; drinking nothing else during my two visits to Syria.

    Although made with Bordeaux grape varietals, Chateau Musar is no claret clone. Wines have been created and enjoyed in the region for 6000 years. It is thought these ancient soils give Musar its seductive exotic aromas and the edge of warm spice to the succulent layers of ripe plum, cherry and blackcurrant.

    13.5% ABV, £33 a bottle.

    sounds delish barry. although 33 notes is a lot for a bottle of wine, its not a lot for a real good un.

    2020 Reboul Salize, Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux



    Christophe Reboul Salze is a big name in Bordeaux. Born in central France, he fell in love with the region's wines in his youth. Arriving in Bordeaux in 1980, he decided to make his passion a career. He gained a decade's experience trading in Grand Cru Classé wines and became director at one of the leading houses. Then started his own négociant business, which remains today a leader in the field. However, he wanted to make wine too, so he purchased three estates in the Right Bank's Premières Côtes de Blaye and the results have been exceptional. This superb claret uses a cuvée from his properties, Châteaux Les Grands Marechaux, Gigault and Belle Coline.

    14.5% £16 a bottle.
