Jeune Rouge,Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon

A really fantastic 'jeaune' (young) red from the famous Chateau Musar. Based on the younger vines of the estate, this is for early drinking, but lacks nothing in character.

A clever blend of Cinsault and Syrah with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon; the grapes come from vineyards in the Aana region of the Bekaa Valley. Deeply coloured, the nose displays mature red cherry, blackcurrant and violet. On the palate, the velvety soft tannins reveal ripe red cherry, blackcurrant and blueberry, mixed with violets and peppery cinnamon spice on a long finish.

Great value for money.
