Really bold right away. Strong acidity and tart that mellows as it finishes slowly. The 15% is noticable but not unpleasant. It definitely drinks warmly.
Tannins are nicely hidden on the back and balance the acid out.
Cherry, wet earth, liquorice, peppers and spice.

Pretty solid and easy drinker. I don't have much experience with Israeli wine but I'll be sure to try another.
Dry and medium body with slight tannins. Could probably grow another year or so but very nice right now.
