Aromas of beef jerky and menthol cigarettes. Mouth-drying tannin; ground pepper, plum, green bell pepper. Great value

Easy drinker here w/supple tannins and just enough acidity to push thru finish. Red & blue fruits, some spice / Earth - focused, balanced & cohesive. Great lil value here from Lebanon

Very very dry. More spices than fruit. Low on tanines in a good way.

Prune, date, smoky aromas which contrasted with a relatively light-bodied taste: toast, raspberries, under-ripe plum.

Felt a little spendy for the quality. Had out with family at a Lebanese restaurant so was charged the markup one would expect. Dark fruits, a bit of smokiness. Not a bad example of Lebanese wine.
