91 Daniel Rogov - Guide to Israeli Wines

"An always-reliable and often-exciting Château. Full-bodied, dark garnet, with generous tannins and spicy oak but those in fine balance with fruits and acidity. On the nose and palate currants, blackberries, wild berries and mocha. From mid-palate on notes of what seems to be bittersweet chocolate at one moment, mocha at the next and finishing with an appealing note of sweetened chewing tobacco. Approachable now but best 2012-2020."
