  excellent! at best!
  can drink now - suitable for further aging of 2-4 years
  
  PS
  this very bottle was brought by Eli Ben-Zaken to the SHIVA of the late Meni Peér
  
  PS2

  Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 20%, Petit Verdot 10%, Cabernet Franc 6% and Malbec 4%
  
  Full body, deep ruby red color. intense ripe fruits aroma complements by sweet spices, smoked oak and toasted bread. Black currant and plums palate with long hot but juicy finish. Rich, bold and complex wine, the fruits still very fresh, the alcohol completely hidden, good balance between matured tannins and vital acidity. Best match is medium rare beef steak. Serve 18ºC - 20ºC. Open one hour ahead. Drink now and next four/five years.
