Red Bordeaux blend. Deep red colour with garnet hints. Primary aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, spices, eucalyptus. Secondary aromas of vanilla and chocolate Triatry aromas of tar, leather, savory notes.
Full body, complex, round with sof tannins. Aged very well, will stay at its peak for 4-5 years.
91points. Outstanding

This wine is excellent and perhaps a tiny step behind the wonderful '08. From a taste perspective - it is a dead ringer. It loses a point only because I doubt it will have the aging potential of the '08. At this stage this wine is still in it's infancy. With about 3 hours of decanting the wine was fully open and excellent.

CS, cab franc, merlot, malbec, petit verdot. Trop peu typé, vin taillé pour la garde mais ne procure pas d'émotion particulière et à ce prix on le souhaiterait tout de même.

Mature and delicious. Lots of sediment, so pour carefully

Previous notes apply for the most part. I actually am more optimistic about the long term potential of this wine.

Carmel Vineyards tasting with wine-maker Lior Lexer (Wine Depot, Tel-Aviv): dark opaque purple
dark sweet fruity aroma with spicy notes
full bodied, grip tannins, excellent harmony, well balanced, sweet fruity flavours, very good complexity, long quality finish.
