I cannot remember when I first tasted a
Lebanese wine, however, I know that it was at a Chateau Musar tasting. For many
years, the only Lebanese wines I know were different vintages of Musar. I had seen
Chateau Kefraya and bought a couple of bottles, but I had not
got round to tasting them. Then all of a sudden, I found that I tasted the next
two most famous wineries within 8 weeks of each other at the end of 2009. I had
met Chateau Ksara at the wine fair in early November, then in mid December, at
the KCC Wine Society Xmas Party, I came across this Chateau Kefraya. Ruby red,
with a jammy berry nose, it was slightly sweet on the attack, leading to fruit
on the palate, giving way to mouth-watering acidity on swallowing, finishing
with acid and tannins as well as a slightly bitter note.
