Hi Zvi,
How did you like the Gamla Tempranillo?
Btw, as I'm trying not to sell the Gamla(Gilgal) label, being a supermarket product, I was surprised to see on the shelf at another shop (yes I admit they exist) both the Gamla Brut and the Gamla Hashmura Brut. To my surprise, the Hashmura was 10 shekels cheaper than the regular one and according to the sales guy there is a difference between the 2, one being dryer (the regular I think).Until then I was sure that they were simply moving the Brut and Nebbiolo up to the Hashmura series. Yossie, did you get some info and tasting for this series?
Best,
GG

While they're not as consistently good as they used to be (the CS used to be consistently great, with some really phenomenal vintages--e.g., '93, '95), Gamla has some real gems off the beaten path of CS/merlot/chard. For instance, the '08 Sangiovese was fabulous--easily an A-. Spicy and unique, I found it very interesting and exciting.

There were two bottles of the Terrenal Malbec, one with the the notes I know and one without. I went to the store and got a fresh bottle - and it was the nice version, so if you dislike the bottle, return it and get a new bottle, TJ is cool with that. If you still do not like it - than so be it.

Which is why I said "I'm trying not to sell". I do have the Sangiovese, still the '08 and while not as enthusiastic about it as you are I like it too. Having tasted all the Gamla Cabernet and Merlot for the last 12 or so vintages I've not enjoyed these wines since the 2005 or 2006 vintage (I've good memories of the '04 Merlot I think).

Also, I've had mixed luck with this wine in the past couple months, with some bottles delicious and some totally dead/sour. I would emphatically recommend drinking up! I'm trying my best to consume my remaining stock as rapidly as I can.

No, actually, it is modified, quite some actually. There was lovely white fruit on the nose and good balance as well. This is still NOT a PN - in any way. It is far more full and round. Not as bracing and spiky as Benyo's. Either way a fine wine and in no way is it dieing. In my opinion - I will leave my last bottle till Rogov's date of 2014 (one year), and see what happens.
