The 2018 vintage has a deep garnet colour in the glass with dried cherries and mature red fruits on the nose. The palate is rich and concentrated with cranberries, raisins, and dates; there is good acidity with fine tannins. It has an enticing smoky, dusty fruit with soft liquorice undertones and at 6 years of age upon release, it is already developed and mature.

The 2018 Chateau Musar has been made from an equal blend of cabernet sauvignon, cinsault and carignan. Each varietal was fermented with their natural yeasts in concrete vats, then aged for 12 months in French Nevers oak barrels before blending in January 2021. Fermentation of the red grapes this year was challenging: Cabernet Sauvignon was first due to the earlier harvest date and was easy to manage, while Cinsault and Carignan needed more attention with their fermentations closely monitored to finish the last gram of grape sugar. Malolactic fermentations for these two grapes were still pending 3 months after the beginning of the harvest as a reminder of the very delicate fermentation and exceptional Cinsault behaviour. This vintage was bottled, without fining or filtration, during the summer months of July and August 2021.
