(Yatir Cabernet Sauvignon) #2; (tasted w/ Daniel Rogov); COLOR-dark; NOSE-big dark fruit; purple magic marker; also a kirsch royale component; very extracted and very big - reminds me of a big Cali cult wine or Barossa Shiraz; TASTE-big fruit; very candied play; alcohol coming through, but this fruit can hold it; the tannin structure and the fruit is very bright; an over-the-top effort; very New World; reminds me of cult wines like Harlan & Turley; (DR bets Gary $7 "that in 3-4 years, it will settle down, the wood will be down and it will show it's balance & elegance"); I like this a lot; if you like big, over-the-top fruit bombs, then you will like this, but still shows nice balance of integrity; this is really good; DR-92; GV-91+

What a lovely wine - this wine is still screaming with intense tannins and smokey notes - lovely!! This was the first true varietal true Cabernet Sauvignon from Yatir, until then all the Cab was blended into the blend of the Forest. The wine is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Shiraz. The nose on this purple to black colored wine is screaming with oriental spice, rich leafy tobacco, cloves, black fruit, and roasted herb. The mouth on this full bodied shows still searing tannin, toasty notes, spicy oak, along with layers upon layers of concentrated cassis, blackberry, raspberry, and mouth coating tannin. The finish is long with intense earthy notes, mineral, heavy graphite, chocolate, and dates that recede over time. BRAVO!!! This wine will last for another 3 or so years. The wine is at peak, not improving from here. Enjoy now as the sweet notes are rising and why wait - you have a wine at peak - enjoy it there!!!

Awesome. Fully mature, should hold peak for a while, but can't imagine it gets much better. Black fruits on the big nose and palate. Really great
