A lovely Israeli blend which seems to be inspired from the Rhone valley, a blend of Carignan, Shiraz, Petit Verdot, petit Sirah, Malbec and Vigionier, that aged for 15 month in French oak. The result is a purple black color, with a very dominant nose, full of Mediterranean spices, black cherries, mint, licorice, prunes, full body, complex , firm tannins, multi learned and rustic, long dry finish with notes of dry figs and mint. Still needs time. My score 89, drink to 2019 perhaps longer.
