Introduction
As usual, Margalit is launching its wines before passover. After having heard some TN about these wines - we decided to arrive, taste and judge ourselves.
Flight 1 (5 Notes)
Closing
Margalit 'regular' wines (non SR) form one level. This year only the Cabernet Franc was impressing. The SR (special Reserve) wines are on a much higher level. This year there's Enigma SR for the first time. Both CS & Enigma SR were impressing. Asaf Margalit confirmed as well that the wines' style is more elegant than in previous years.

weak aroma, classical Margalit CS taste - nothing that enlightens me.

Wonderful & elegant aroma, smooth & round in taste, full-bodied while very elegant taste, structured & complex. A wine with high potential that most wine-lovers would like to age in their cellars.
