#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a cloudy reddish/ brick rim.

Strong nose of blueberries, blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, cedar, herbs, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco leaf, light earth, black tea, pencil lead, Indian spices, peppercorn and light medicine.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, cooked cherries, licorice, peppercorn, coffee, cola, herbs, black tea, pencil lead and Indian spices.

Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from israel. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Drinking beautifully now, as a 16 year old. Showing great complexity at this point, especially on the nose.

Good right out of the bottle and gets even better as it opens up. it changes every 15 minutes, which is so beautiful to experience.

Showing a beautiful nose with lots of complexity. I love these kind of wines where the nose truly shines. Loved smelling on it for a long time.

I had the 2007 vintage 8 years ago, and it was not as good as this is. Really benefited with time in the bottle.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. Aged in French oak barrels for 21 months. A small production of less than 9,000 bottles made. Kosher.

14% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

$100 (current vintage). — 2 years ago

I’m guessing that this wine was given some sort of oak treatment, as the color is quite golden and the nose shows some oaky notes. There is also a strong sense of mango and other tropical fruits on the nose, along with an almond nuttiness. The smell puts me in mind of a cross between an old-style California Chardonnay and a Roussanne. The palate shows a lot of savory salinity, a somewhat subdued acidity and a rather full, oily mouthfeel. It’s a fairly complex wine, and a delicious one, too. — 4 years ago

This wine from Galilee offers up some nice Chardonnay notes - Meyer lemon, orange peel, wet rocks, oak spice. The palate follows suit. The oak is not overdone, it is a welcome part of the flavor profile. The acidity is fresh, but not zippy. — 6 years ago

As @LM Segal said, young enough for me to be ashamed. Nearly everything I look for in a Napa Cab. Others can take notes from what Ms Welch is doing. Exceptional. — 10 years ago

When you forget to take a pic until.the last glass is a good thing, right? Toured the winery w/ @LM Segal and love their family-rooted values (and their olive oil is pretty special too!). — 10 years ago

Purple in color with a wide purplish rim.

Fruity nose of red and black fruits and light wood, spices, coffee and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, black currants, spices, light oak, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and light vegetables.

Tangy and spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from the Judean Hills region in Israel is drinking very nicely now.

Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining.

Right out of the bottle, it doesn't drink like a Cabernet Sauvignon at all. Needed 45 minutes to open up properly and show itself, so be patient.

I had it 3 years ago and decided to give it a few more years in the bottle to mature. It is so much better now. Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Good by itself or with food.

Fermented with wild yeast, and aged in French Oak barrels for a year. Kosher and non Mevushal.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$25. — 3 years ago

Beautiful straw yellow color with ripe honey crisp apples, maybe even a bit of apple pie? Some malo, perhaps?

Tastes of dried fig with a nice saline punch. Stays around for awhile so no need to pound it back. Really good and fun selection from Galilee. — 4 years ago

Complimentary wine provided by the hotel during check in and it was a welcome site and taste. It was really smooth, easy to drink prior to getting our room service dinner. — 9 years ago

I have 3 sons, so loved the name right off the bat (some say my husband is the 4th...) . Took some time to open up ( dirty socks!) but 2nd bottle was yummy after 1 hour in the decanter @LM Segal — 10 years ago

Medium plus Ruby in colour - when swirled a tawny note shows. Dusty berry derived aromas - cassis/blackcurrant on the medium weight palate; cedar/cigar box with a touch of capsicum. A very good mature left bank Bordeaux from an excellent vintage. I had a bottle of this 3 years ago and received some commentary from other Delectable users that I was drinking this too early. It does have a longer life than I said 3 years ago but I am more than happy to drink it now. As LM Segal said about this wine on Delectable, “If you’ve got em drink em”. As always with Lynch Bages it deserves a higher rating than 5th Growth - but in summary not overly complex. — 3 years ago

Nice nose of chocolate , blackberry and a hint of tobacco. Smooth and drinking well - tannins present giving good structure - a classic juicy Cabernet mouthfeel. Well done #segal — 5 years ago

@LM Segal has been pushing this, knowing my weaknesses. Big fruity fruity blackberries and tobacco on the nose...rich, silky tannins and a deceptively long finish. A rare wine that can satisfy both the palates of connaisseurs and a crowd — 7 years ago

In honor of game 6, I am opening this bottle from @David A Lentine to help an anxious cubs fan get through the next couple of hours. Thanks to @LM Segal for the decant time heads up to align with game time. I am an hour in and going to let it sit a bit more to soften. @Paul T brought the big guns with Kershaw, but the cubs have too many sticks. Thanks for bolting to Orlando @Daryl Calhoun - no invite?!? #iaintafraidofnogoat Thanks again @David A Lentine for sharing this one. TN Update - working on 3 hours decanted and it is starting to shine. Soft on the palette with black cherries, strong raspberries, and vanilla. I have to add very juicy - haven't had something with this mouthwatering effect before. On the nose raspberry and flower box come through on this ruby gem. — 10 years ago
