I love this wine. It has a punch of blueberry that’s perfectly balanced with other beautiful dark fruit flavors. As the wine unfolds, an intriguing note of zaatar emerges, a testament to the wine's layered complexity. This hint of exotic spice adds a savory edge that beautifully complements the fruit, introducing a dimension of earthiness that's both unexpected and delightful. The zaatar intertwines with a distinct stony minerality.

Smells great. Touches of wood and tobacco. The alcohol is present in the aroma, but doesn’t cut through the deeper flower scents that are present. Tastes quite nice. You get some dark fruits, blueberry, plum, and black cherry. Theres a hint of ripe nectarine. Silky. Round. Decent tannins. Not a long finish. This is a wine you will definitely enjoy, but you won’t brag about it as being a favorite. 90-91.

Deserves a low rating. High tannins. With an off-putting bitter finish.
