Deep garnet going to a browning brick. Developed bouquet of jube fruit, ripe damson, stewed blackberry, cough syrup - all very riupe and somewhat ‘nectar’ like! Full-bodied, super-thick concentration of liquid black fruit jam sprinkled with a heavy dose of pepper and lurking oak spices. A big, muscular wine, weightlifter over bodybuilder, intense, with sweet texture and a back palate showing sweet liquorice bark and jammy fruit. A core of stove-top cooked fruit gives an impression of liquid black fruits oozing out—boldness, intense, jammy with sweet, furry tannins reflecting a hot climate.

Dark red. Rich aromas with decent barnyard aroma i find unpleasant. On palate, pretty spicy. Not soft and round at all. Barnyard flavors on midpalate and even the finish. Not a fan. Still good under vacuum 2 weeks later.

Mature Shiraz/Syrah tasting (at Eli Raban's home, Rehovot): dark opaque red-purple dark ripe fruits spicy aroma with corky notes, oak-vanilla full bodied, firm integrated tannins, light jammy, medium balance & harmony, good acidity level, fair structured, medium complexity, medium aftertaste, liquorice, fair aftertaste and finish

nice complexity, quite a bit of spice, but a bit rough around the edges.
