Montefiore Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Kerem Moshe

At peak! At first, smoke, toasted sesame oil, Tobacco leaf, Wet clay. Very left bank Bordeaux, wet Forest floor. With about 20mn, wonderful acidity comes out, fresh cranberries, crushed violets, green apple skin, some vanilla. Beautiful finish. Delicious 92-93

Dark opaque red purple Excellent dark fruits nose with light spicy notes Full bodied, excellent balance and harmony, soft firm tannins, very good structure and fine complexity, long tannic finish and aftertaste Good ageing potential

Exciting Israeli red wines; 1/1/2017-2/28/2017 (Tel Aviv) : Very much a young Medoc, this Bordeaux blend is built around blackberries and candied cherry fruit, but with the structure and grip one expects from a grand vin. Interesting spicy nose hints at bell peppers. I would drink this young.

Spicy nose, with something a little candied about it Good freshness on the palate but also lots of oak Quite nice
