Domaine du Castel Grand Vin 2001, crafted in Israel’s Judean Hills, is a Cabernet Sauvignon-driven blend from a mature vintage, showcasing the region’s limestone terroir. The bouquet reveals evolved blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, with notes of leather, tobacco, and spice, accented by hints of graphite and minerality. The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity supporting the mature fruit profile. Aged in French oak, this wine reflects Castel’s meticulous winemaking, delivering a long, refined finish with notable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted beef, grilled lamb, or aged cheeses, it is a collector’s treasure, offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a mature, Bordeaux-style red. Its depth and elegance make it a standout from the 2001 vintage.
