It opens with blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum, before notes of dark chocolate, pepper, liquorice, dried herbs and warm spice begin to gather. The fruit is generous, but the wine keeps a lovely freshness, giving it shape rather than sheer weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"754\"\u003eThe palate is full, textured and concentrated, with black fruit, cocoa, savoury spice and ripe tannins leading into a long, warming finish. It feels bold but polished, a Syrah with sun on its shoulders and mountain air in its lungs. Château Oumsiyat’s 2020 Syrah is listed as 100% Syrah from Mount Lebanon, with 14% ABV. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"768\"\u003eFor when\u003c\/strong\u003e you want a red with richness, spice and proper Lebanese soul.\u003cbr data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"833\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"847\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/strong\u003e grilled lamb, beef kofta, venison, mushroom ragù, smoky aubergine, slow-cooked beef, hard cheeses, or a mezze table with plenty of char.\u003cbr data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"987\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"987\" data-end=\"1009\"\u003eIf this wine were…\u003c\/strong\u003e a night, it would be a warm Bekaa evening, dark fruit on the table, smoke from the grill and spice in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1522\"\u003eChâteau Oumsiyat is run by the Bou Sleiman family, with Joseph Bou Sleiman producing wines from a modern winery in Mtein.
