The 2006 GOLD RESERVE, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Mourvedre (40%) and Syrah (10%), is laced with a little licorice, and able to hold a reasonable time. With air, some considerable tannic astringency becomes evident, the wine fleshes out a bit and develops a little more character, some earthiness and a hint of game. It takes awhile to get past the sweet, initial overlay, though, when it seems very new world, despite the participation of those French wineries. This keeps showing more and more power with air, ultimately becoming rather mouth-drying. This has many merits, but I did find it a little hard to warm up to. Drink now-2017. Massaya is one of Lebanon’s most familiar wineries, run and owned by Lebanon’s Sami and Ramzi Ghosn, with participation by the owners of Chateaus Vieux Telegraphe and Bellefont-Belcier in France.Importer: Winebow, Inc., Montvale, N.J.; tel: (201) 445-0620
