Light gold in the glass. Great leasy citrus and white stone nose with nice minerality and fruit. Nicely balanced structure with above average finish. Had this several times over the past 3 weeks during our trek across NZ and Oz. If tasted blind it would be hard to distinguish it from a young Meursault. — 8 years ago

If tasting blind, I'd think this was a Sauvignon Blanc. Pungent and zesty with weight on the palate. A lingering finish. Enjoyable while cooking, very affordable quaffer. — 10 years ago

Second type of cab I've tried, very different flavor. I'm a fan of California Reds!

Pulled another bottle, 3 years later. Much better now. Lime custard, mineral. Apples. Tart enough that I guessed Chablis, blind. SO2 still pushy. — 9 years ago

What a nice Turkish delight this is.
Beautiful color of dark ruby/inky core with a purplish rim.

The nose is similar to a Napa Cabernet. Lots of vanilla and oak that drown all the fruits. Some chocolates, licorice, cedar, coffee, cola, smoke, blackberries, black currants, black pepper and spices.

Full bodied and bold, Smooth and elegant with medium plus acidity and gorgeous legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with oak, vanilla, blackberries, currants, sweet cherries, dark chocolates, cola, figs, raisins, tobacco, coffee, peppercorn and spices.

Long finish with full, firm tannins and black pepper.

A great Single Vineyard red wine. Big, bold and beautiful. At a Blind tasting I would call a young Napa Cabernet.
Balanced and Enjoyable by itself or with food. I Paired it with a Turkish lamb dish, and it held its own nicely.

This 5 year old needs some additional bottle time and will be even better in 3 years.
Needs 2 hours in a decanter.

Fun fact:
Okuzgozu, the grape varietal, means an ox eye for being the largest among the grape varieties grown in Turkey.
