Paint My Wine - The expression of terroir?

It took a long time, but now the newest "Paint My Wine" picture is online. This time it is Château Qanafar 2010 from Lebanon. Fun fact: Our artist painted the wine without the knowledge of its origin (blind tasting). A sign of terror?

Wine of the month (October): Château Kefraya Comte de M 2009

The 2009 Comte de M (Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) matured for 16 months in fine-grained French oak barrels (85% new wood, 15% one year old). It appears ruby in the glass. In the nose a complex bouquet with beguiling flavours of iron, pepper, leather, black currant and vanilla. On the palate very soft structured with meat, blueberry and leather intermixed with delicate notes of jalapeno, milk chocolate and vanilla. Full bodied, present, but soft tannins, a good extract and a long aftertaste. Good buy! Drink: 2016-2023.

Rating: 93 points.

In der Nase ein komplexes Bouquet mit betörenden Düften nach Eisen, Pfeffer, Leder, schwarzer Johannisbeere und Vanille. Im Mund sehr weich strukturiert mit Fleisch, Blaubeere und Leder sowie zarten Noten von Jalapeno, Vollmilchschokolade und Vanille. Voller Körper, präsente, aber weiche Tannine, ein guter Extrakt sowie ein langer Abgang.
