Daniel Rogov Strat´s Place/Tel Aviv/Israel: :

  • “Peraj Petita 2006”: 90 p

  • “Peraj petita 2007”: 90 p

  • “Peraj petita 2008”: 90 p

  • "Garmet towards royal purple, medium- to full-bodied, with gently gripping tannins and spicy wood needing a bit of time to settle in. On the nose and palate blackberries, currants, freshly cut herbs and notes of earthy minerals, all leading to a long, chocolate rich finish. Drink now-2014."

Jancis Robinson website/England:

  • “Peraj Petita 2008” 16/20P: “…Very sweet and full of fruit on the palate. … I can see how people were weaned off Kiddush wine to this. “
