Psagot Edom 2009

Daniel Rogov-Psagot, Edom, 2009 (Advance Tasting): An ever-shifting blend, this year of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petite Verdot (61%, 17%, 15% and 7% respectively), each variety fermented separately until blendimg. Super-dark garnet in color, full-bodied, with gently caressing near-sweet tannins and just the right amount of spicy oak in the background. On the nose and palate blackcurrants, blueberry and purple plum fruits, those complemented by hints of Mediterranean herbs and, on the long finish an appealing hint of bitter citrus peel. Best from 2012-2016, perhaps longer. Score 90. K (Tasted 13 Mar 2011)
