Perfectly paired with a standing rib roast or grilled lamb burger, this wine is comparable to a first or second growth Bordeaux. A remarkable wine.

The 1998 Château Musar is a deeply mature and characterful vintage, offering an intricate interplay of dried fruit, savory complexity and the earthy, balsamic nuances that emerge beautifully with extended bottle age. The nose is richly layered, showing dried cherry, plum, blackcurrant and fig alongside leather, tobacco, cedar, dried herbs, forest floor, spice and hints of balsamic reduction. The palate is supple and refined, with mature tannins integrated into the wine’s generous texture while vibrant acidity preserves energy and definition. Notes of liquorice, dark chocolate, dried flowers and sweet spice unfold gradually through the long, persistent finish, revealing a wine of remarkable depth and individuality. A sophisticated expression of mature Musar, where tertiary development complements rather than overwhelms the wine’s underlying fruit and freshness. \u003cspan class=\"x1s688f\"\u003eFood pairings:\u003c\/span\u003e roast or braised lamb, slow-cooked beef, venison, duck, wild mushrooms, truffle dishes, eggplant and lentil preparations, aged cheeses, and richly spiced Lebanese or Levantine cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Worldwide Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750171717873,"sku":null,"price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/5683\/2053\/files\/IMG_0287.heic?v=1725916957","url":"https:\/\/thewiseolddog.com\/products\/chateau-musar-red-bekaa-valley-lebanon-1998","provider":"The Wise Old Dog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
