    Nice review David. I need to re-taste this wine as I don’t remember the oak being so overpowering.

    I wonder about the excess acid you speak of. I have heard that just about every Israeli winery adds acid. But when questioning some Israel based winemakers about this practice I was told that this is also the norm in places like Australia and California. YES, this surprised me.

    The out of balance nature you speak of may be cause for concern, but I wonder if the wine may have been going through a dumb period of sorts…

    THANKS.

Ph is a drop in the bucket in comparison to adding tannin, color, enzymes. I will hopefully blog on this whole thing and on a few wine books I have been reading recently.

    But to the issue of the wine – it may have been a bad bottle, all I can comment on is what I drank – I hope to one day drink this bottle again.

    Best Wishes
