» Domaine Des Tourelles Lebanon's second oldest producer. It may produce what is arguably the finest arak in the world, but recent wines have failed to impress. The new owners and the new winemaker, Gerard D'Hautville, have taken giants steps to remedy this. The result is a wine that does justice to the winery's heritage. Le Marquis des Beys has a fabulous nose, awash with plums, blackcurrant, tobacco and spices.

It is still a bit youthful, but has great structure and cracking tannin content. If Domaine des Tourelles can be consistent and hold onto D'Hautville, this is my tip for future greatness. THE WINES• Marquis des Beys
