16.5/20 (91/100)

Красивый бордосский купаж, с тонами черных ягод, легким нюансом болгарского перца,нотами мускатного ореха, кардамона. Спокойный, стильный, еще очень молодой, с выраженными танинами, умеренным телом и полной кислотностью. Молодое вино с хорошим потенциалом.

From a magnum bottle.
The cork was challenging, too dry and crumbled on its way out....
A very powerful nose and a full body, tasty, exceptional balanced wine is experienced.

Very well made Bordeaux blend from the Judean Hills region of Israel. Layered and with a long finish.

Bottle #3 in our virtual tasting. Clearly gunning for a classic Bordeaux profile and succeeding. Well made.

Left bank Bordeaux blend - nose of dark fruit and bramble - a bit less than hoped for and still a bit dry on the palate - balance a bit off - strong around the mid palate - then a black hole - but medium long finish. Not as harmonious as one would have hoped for from one of Israel’s finest from the Judean Hills.

Bordeaux like. Maybe my favorite wine from Israel. Elegant and layered.
