intense aromas & flavors, tannic, full body, rich, complex - requires long aeration.

Beautiful balance with crunchy tannins that are well integrated but require some good aeration before fully opening up. Another solid showing from Yatir.

Israel-tasting, flight 3, wine 2 (non-blind): 15% ABV. The wine was dark ruby in colour and offered ripe dark fruit and a plastic note on the nose, and ripe red and dark berries, dark cherry, chocolate and spices on the palate, with notable but well-integrated tannin.

Very much Medoc style - but too much power and too little structure. Interesting though and good QPR for a Kosher Wine.

Flushed out with 15% Merlot and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Dark, inky purple in color with on the perfumed nose a mix of velvety floral notes of lavender and violets enveloping a bouquet of ripe forest fruits including blackberries, blueberries and raspberries as well as cherries, toasty oak and some hints of toasted oak and leather. Very full-bodied and powerful with multiple layers of ripe red and black fruit, some earthy mineral notes of graphite as …

Opaque purple red violet color; VA, tart black fruit nose; tart black fruit, tar, tart berry palate with medium acidity; short medium finish (85% Petit Verdot, 15% Merlot)

Dark garnet with on the nose smoked meat, blackberries, ripe cassis and raspberries, smoked wood. Full-bodied with on the palate some almost overripe black fruit and toasty wood, much less acid than the other wines of the line up with velvety tannins, sweet chocolate and mocha on a very long finish. Quite good and certainly a much better wine than the 2-3 previous vintages.

secondary aromas, intense, fruity, spicy flavours, grip tannins, good ending. value for money.

Nice red color, quite bright; very thin nose, some plum and apricot. Palate: also plum and apricot, old fruits with a nice aftertaste of sweet berries. A fine, smooth and feminine wine. 88 points.

Medium to full body, dark purple red, aromatic, red fruits, ripe plum, black pepper, floral and spicy, oaky aroma, black currant, plum, still woody, firm good integrated tannins, spices and dark chocolate on finish, long finish, powerful, bold texture, complex, well balanced, nice acidity, still tannic, food friendly.
