2003 Château Musar Rouge, Bekaa Valley, LebanonABOUT THIS WINE: Fermentation progressed well slowly with very little heat as it was naturally under control. Interestingly, the level of alcohol was higher than usual almost the same as 1999. All in all, it was an easy harvest and an easy fermentation with hardly any problems and malolactic fermentation followed its normal course.
