Chateau Musar Rouge 2004 SPBURGUNDY and ripe stone fruitOne of the wine world's great originals, now fully mature. Chateau Musar has been making singular reds in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley since 1930, and the 2004 is an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault from gravelly soils over limestone.
