Friday Noon's wine group

This friday, I came a bit late. My friends just finished a bottle of Serafin Gevrey Chambertin 1999 , so I suggested opening a bottle of Serafin, Charmes Chambertin 2001. I've had a bottle of the 2004, a year ago, and liked it very much and the 2004 didn't dissapoint either. Some brett in the nose at the beginning was replaced soon by a nose of red fruits, especially strawberries, in the mouth it was only medium bodied but it filled the mouth , with great balance, nice mid palate presence and long aftertaste. An elegant wine (in the good sence of the word). Score : 93-94.
Later on I was suggested a glass of Trio 2006, a new Israeli wine made by 3 cousins of the the Shaked family (Oran, Kobi & Tal). The grapes were sourced from the Judea hills and are mostly Cabarnet Sauvignon. The nose is quite closed with some black fruits emerges. In the mouth its medium to full bodied , very fruity, some green notes and medium finish. not very sophisticated but a very nice wine for everyday. Score - 88.
