  3/23/2023 - Head4Heights Likes this wine: 91 Points

  Let’s kick off with a 45mm Diam5 cork. 80% Cab Sauv, 10% Syrah 10% Mouvedre - very Lebanese. It’s medium garnet in colour. The nose is of medium intensity delivering plum, cassis, jam, raspberry, spice, cedar, even honey. The nose still feels fresh, even floral. The body is medium with pronounced intensity. The acidity is high. The tannins are high and fine. All the elements for longevity are in place but the acidity is slightly unbalanced and shows itself on the finish - which is long btw. There’s a lovely texture to the wine and with food it is complementary and slips down very well. Happy to recommend.

  6/16/2017 - Harley1199 Does not like this wine:

  Wanna "Heroic Vineyards"? Visit Lebanon; 6/14/2017-6/18/2017 (Beirut - Lebanon): Direct from the barrel. Interesting and capable of aging, even has some elegance. Blindly I thought that his astringency, but its abrupt spicy note was a contribution of the CF but it was shiraz combined with monastrell.
  On the mouth it is simply disgusting at this moment. I would never recommend it
  
  Directamente del barril. Interesante y con capacidad envejecer, incluso tiene cierta elegancia. A ciegas pensé que su astringencia, su abrupta nota picante era una aportación de la CF pero era la shiraz combinada con la monastrell.
  En boca es sencillamente repugnante en este momento. Nunca lo recomendaría
