  Decanted 3 hours before serving. Very deep ruby-to-purple color. Nose a bit closed, but noticeable tobacco aromas. Medium body, high acid, medium-plus fine grained tannins. Very tangy blueberries, dark raspberries, tobacco. Juicy. Very much a throwback, felt more like a 1980s Bordeaux than a modern Napa. 12.9% alcohol! Outstanding.

  Ca. CS (Mu & Mu restaurant, Rehovot): didn't impress at the tasting - was the least favorite out of 6 wines

  The nose is dried red and blue plum with a concentrated note of black walnut. The palate is a loamy strawberry and violet with a lean, sleek blackberry core. Finishes with licorice and mouth-coating bright berry. Drink 2019 – 2027.

  Decanted for about 2 hours. Wow what a treat. Iron filings, cranberry, new leather, mint, tilled dirt, cherry herd candy, black tea. Fresh acidity and fine but persistent tannins.
