Bright, even tawny red browning at rim. Much more austere on the nose than the preceding wines, tangy with underlying oak. Much fuller than the nose suggests, with sweet, creamy, mouthfilling flavours of chestnuts, cedar, coffee and plums. High acidity levels and a long, dry tannic finish make this a candidate for roasted meats. Very good. (12 x 75 cl)

The rather volatile, mature flavours of Lebanon's finest wine are not what you might expect but this has all the complexity and lasting qualities of a great Claret. (12 x 75 cl)
