Exciting Israeli red wines; 1/1/2017-2/28/2017 (Tel Aviv): Brick red. Nose is lively wish crunchy red fruits and framboise pastille, hints of musk and mint. The musky aroma is perhaps a hint of maderization? Delicious, sweet fruit and lovely palate tension, very long with a mineral driven finish, tiny bit sharp or harsh at the end. Has potential to improve and could merit 94-95 if that reduced note doesn't become an issue.

Agree wth geller, and this was three years after he wrote that note. This beauty is still alive and kicking and should have at least another couple years of good drinking left. Rich and complex this is one of the better examples of high quality Israeli Shiraz.

98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier. Dark royal bright purple, with on the nose plums, blackberries, freshly ground pepper and saddle leather. Full-bodied with on the palate juicy plums and blackberries, spicy roasted meat, black pepper and bittersweet chocolate with gently mouth-coating tannins on the long mouth-filling finish. Superb.
