Saturday, May 14, 2016 - A first for me. Everyone talks about the funky notes but what a surprise this was.

Bought this in Dubai airport and have requested for a well stored bottle from inside the store instead of a display one. Makes big differences indeed.
Notes of savoury meat, wet leather, dusty dark fruits. On the palette, red fruits, prunes and slight tinge of integrated tannins. Medium bodied with medium long finish on the end. One would have presumed it to be a mere 5 years old. Astounded by the presence of acidity and freshness for its 17 years of age.
Lebanese friend remarked that only Christians are allowed to make this wine.
