Domaine du Castel, Grand Vin 2006: A blend this year of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and flushed out with 5% Petit Verdot. Dark bordeaux red in color, with on the distinctly Israeli nose cassis, blackberries, earth, spices, vanilla and hints of toasty oak. Full-bodied, with on the palate ripe black and red forest berries, earthy minerals, dark chocolate, medium-plus acidity and mouth-coating tannins with notes of spicy vanilla rising on the long, elegant and plus finish. Lovely but this wine showed better at previous tastings recently. 14% Abv.

Deep, dried fruit and cherry nose. Big hints of vanilla and earth. Long, rich finish. This wine is still very youthful. We will revisit in 6-12 months

Top mature Israeli wines 2/2016 (at my home): a bit less than expectations, though a classic good Castel GV
