Пепел и табак, и в аромате, и во вкусе. Аромат дополняется печеной в костре картошкой, такой, до угольков. После выходит слива, ежевика. Нетельное, танинов немного.Очень неплохо в моем восприятии. Прямо вспомнил сезон сбора картошки и огромные костры из сухой ботвы 🔥 — 5 years ago
2010. Reminded of some great Portuguese portos! Way better than Massandra! — 5 years ago
A surprise blind tasting at the end of our meal at Guy Savoy. The somm Andrew Hurley (merci beaucoup!!) blinded me on this one boy was I so wrong! Orange blossom, walnut paste, saffron, ginger candy, cinnamon, nutmeg, fig, etc. etc. And yet so fresh! Great acidity. Great balance despite >400g/L RS. I thought it was like maybe 1976. Oh boy I was 76 years off! Such a treat. This is probably the oldest wine I’ve ever had. — 2 months ago

Massandra Black Muscatel - 2015
Dried plums, long aftertaste, delicate and sweet in the good sense. — 5 years ago
After some time in bottle this wine is much better. It has become amasing Russian sparking made in traditional way. 24 month on the lees in the bottle. Mostly Chardonnay. Very light and elegant sparking...
This wine got a style. Fresh, mineral with notes of red apple, ripe lemon and white peach. Strong acidity and smooth bubbles.
Anyway, this wine is one of the best traditional sparking in Russia. If you have a chance do not miss it to try this. — 5 years ago
