Nose is a ripe mushroom chocolate (yes that's incompatible) Bordeaux. Palate is medium body. Very long savory finish of chocolate nutty nougat.
There's something very good about this actually. I wish I had tasted it blind. Frankly much smoother and and more wekcoming than Bordeaux, it has graceful length but none of the sharpness.

Nice unique Cab. Has a red fruit almost raisin hint but not in a bad way. Licorice at the top but after an hour decant it settled into a nice experience

Fruit compote of blackberries, plums and cherries on the nose, along with black pepper and tobacco. There’s some wildness to it along the lines of a northern Rhone syrah, and wet soil. Over time, spearmint emerges. The palate is medium-plus in body with dense, grainy tannin. Medium acididty helps cut the tannin and helps define a dense structure that achieves a lightness that the nose does not suggest. Flavors include dark cherries, blackberries, smoke, cocoa, espresso and peppermint. It’s a dark and brooding flavor profile. The finish is long and pleasant. This is still a young wine and requires at least 2-3 hours of decanting before consuming. It has a good 3 years of prime drinking ahead of it, at least. For the price, this is better than most cabernet sauvignons from any part of the globe.

My first Israel wine, keen to try.
