Gorgeous, brooding, mineral-driven. The nose was a combination of animal and mineral that made it smell like blood (in a good way). Dark, crunchy fruit on the palate, smooth, savory, lively acidity, great balance, and a medium finish. — 5 years ago

This is the wine we choose every single time at Jiko at Animal Kingdom Lodge. It's abt a $50 bottle after Dianey's markup. It's not something I'd buy to drink at home. — 7 years ago

Still lots of exuberant red and purple fruit, white pepper, woodsy tones, violets, some animal and herbaceous highlights. Continue to love following this wine as it ages. Structurally seems in a great place, not sure how much it will improve — 3 years ago

Belle bouteille, très aromatique au nez et en bouche, fruits rouges croquants, ca evolue tout au long de la journée, les epices, le herbes (thym), petit cote terreux et animal. C’est complexe, belle acidité, bien structuré, on en veut plus. Excellent — 5 years ago

Austere at first, thought maybe the fruit was gone but just needed an hour of air. Consider drinking soonish though. Tastes like lots of Grenache and lots of whole clusters. Leads with leather, animal, dried herbs, coffee grounds and eventually dark red cherries in syrup and cinnamon red hots enter the mix. Clearly from warmer southerly / mediterranean climes but there is still a sense of freshness and acidity here — 6 years ago

Garnet-tiled, murky, deep dress.Clos de Gat is an area of Judea in Israel. With two hours of aeration, the primary notes, generous very ripe and animal fruits mix well with the notes of aging and spices. We are not far from a Cornas or other wine from the North Rhône with the intensity of the Israeli sun. The notes of evolution go perfectly with the bouquet.

Robe Grenat-tuilé, trouble, profonde.
Clos de Gat est un domaine de Judée en Israël. Avec deux heures d’aération, les notes primaires, généreuses fruits très mûrs et animales se mêlent bien aux notes d’élevage et d’épices. On est pas loin d’un Cornas ou autre vin du Rhône Nord avec l’intensité du soleil d’Israel. Les notes d’évolution se marient à merveille au bouquet.
