Ruby with a hint of garnet starting at the core, pronounced aromas and flavors, nose of dark fruits and cacao, palate is dry and balanced, blackberry, plum, dried berries, black currant, coffee note and cacao following through, hint of baking spice, tannins are fine and pleasing, body is medium, finish is medium +. Great QPR, more Israeli wine exports please.

N: CIGAR box, smoke. [A far more experienced taster got bubblegum, but none of what I noted.]
P: Med body; RNDISH entry with nice, ALMOST swtish frt firmed by a bit of astringent pucker which loses much of its limited punch by the LONG finish with a tangy/swtness to the very, VERY fine, only firming tannins. For now & through '22, + MIGHT improve slightly for 3-6 mos. My VG+/EXC-, the higher poss for QPR. [I saw no other source with which to compare this vendor's $11.95.]

Monthly Tasting Group EEE: Middle East + Morocco (@ PV): Smoky cherries and cassis in the bouquet. On the palate full bodied and sweet with very ripe cassis fruit.
