Saina, where are you?
2010 Chateau Musar Blanc Bekaa Valley White Blend
At Mirador, Manny's wine, served blind. Straw gold. Intricate nose that's familiar, semillon-ish, but it's changing by the second and I know I don't know what it is. Honey and something both citrusy and herbal, lemon verbena?, keep trading places, and there's a very faint note of something oxidative--not spoiled but intentional, deliberate and perhaps older but could have started out this way with some different grapes than what I usually drink. And then the marzipan comes in. It's like an opera, just when you think you're getting a grip on what's happening another voice shows up. A fascinator, and the reveal isn't surprising.
