 Tasted by Ajvandet on 1/23/2017 & rated 87 points: I think this wine needs a few hours in a decanter before attempting to drinking it. It might be a 90+ when letting it sit longer. Nicely aged wine. (1507 views)

dense black fruits aroma
full body, round tannins, high alcohol, good acidity, savory flavors, good harmony, mouth-filling, rich and heavy, suits grilled and spicy warm dishes. Enjoyable aftertaste. (2303 views)

 Tasted by Isaac C on 8/13/2012 & rated 92 points: Excellent wine! This dessert wine really shines. Great nose and mouth on the wine, and the 18% alcohol goes down very smoothly. The mouth on this wine is sweet (but not cloyingly so) and has strong notes of cherries. The finish on this wine is long and flavorful with soft notes of chocolate and oak. This wine is not syrupy like a port wine and I am not yet sure how long it will drink well once opened - so far it has been delicious for 3 days and might have even improved during that time.

 Tasted by Gabriel Geller on 8/4/2012 & rated 90 points: This wine is very much showing its GHW "origins" by being well-made but not very different nor especially interesting. Dark garnet, with on the nose blackberries and some roasted herbs, medium to full-bodied with on the palate blackberries and plums, with notes of roasted herbs and tobacco, good acidity and soft tannins on a moderately long finish.

 Tasted by Yagil on 7/2/2012 & rated 88 points: special spicy dessert wine, not too heavy, great with dark chocolate truffels (964 views)
 Tasted by Yagil on 7/2/2012 & rated 87 points: dark heavy wine, suits dominant flavors dishes and roasted meat (2314 views)
 Tasted by Yagil on 9/20/2011 & rated 88 points: dark red-purple-black color
attractive fruity aromas of a Mediterranean wine varieties
rich, fruity flavors, full body, thick, tannic, balanced acidity, harmonious, long after taste; already enjoyable though I'd prefer to age this wine 3-5 years more to reach full maturity. (2472 views)
 Tasted by Yagil on 8/24/2011 & rated 87 points: "Revolutons Meet" - 2011 (Wine Road Tel-Aviv): unique & attractive aromas, something I'm not experiencing that often; also flavors seemed to be attractive - but the wine temperature was well over 23c - a fact which prevented an optimal impression of its quality (2400 views)
