4/23/2024 - Akatz821 Likes this wine: 93 points92+ No 2020, but still quite delicious. Apricot, pear, cinnamon. Orange & its peel, candied lemon peels, the essence of a grapefruit. Bits of nuts (cashews, almonds). Lime even. Lots of citrus fruits but with w a core of pome fruit and sweet spices. |

4/17/2024 - Akatz821 Likes this wine: 89 pointswhen first opening, I really didn't like this wine. disjointed, alcohol wasn't integrated, etc etc. 24 hours later, and wow is it a stunner. almonds, vanilla, marigold, custard, pastry, apricots, olives, green almonds. Just wow! truly was an 84 or so at opening, and a 93+ a day later. the change is remarkable. |

2015 Yaacov Oryah Alpha OmegaIsrael White Blend more |
4/2/2024 - Akatz821 Likes this wine: 93 pointslove this. Extremely sherry-esque, I'd be surprised if this didn't see some flor. Incredible amber color. bakes peaches, cinnamon, tree bark, hazelnuts, almonds, sea salt, cardamom, mint, juniper. Complex, evolving, and unique. I love this so much, but it is definitely not for everyone. Still drinking well, will likely buy more |

2004 Golan Heights Winery Yarden Noble Sémillon Botrytismore |
3/30/2024 - Akatz821 Likes this wine: 93 pointsStill a delight, but drink up (which should be obvious with the color & sediment). Tons of honey, golden raisins, oloroso, cashews, hazelnuts. Really really tasty, but the acidity is starting to falter. I could nose this empty bottle for eternity, its just that good. |

3/30/2024 - Akatz821 wrote: 89 pointsA good bottle - but nothing like you would hope for it to be. drank over 4 hours, and after two hours it showed best. Nose is meh - all graphite. Palate is all blueberry, blackberry, a bit of tarragon. Taste is good to great, but just doesn't last the way you would want it to, and the nose is flat/lacking |

3/18/2024 - Akatz821 Does not like this wine: NRUnfortunately I think this bottle had passed. Its interesting still, but no longer truly enjoyable. THe acidity has left us, and the barnyard that was always there has grown tremendously to be the main aspect of the wine. Its still interesting - just not what it once was. drink up |

3/2/2024 - Akatz821 Likes this wine: 91 pointsQuality for the price is through the roof. Of course you have to like an oxidative flor tinged style. but give me the sherry any day, so i love this. For around 25 USD, it really goes above and beyond. |
