Vinica Mavrud 2019

Bulgarian wine amarone style. Dark purple (though dark out) dark fruit with hint of plum prune and cinnamon. Same on mouth with tannins that need some time. Long. Very good. May be my first Bulgarian wine. Definitely first with grape drying. — 5 months ago

Special Reserve Mavrud

Love this wine. I can compare its slight acidity and balanced fruitless to the best Bordeaux samples but one can get it for a much lower price. It originates from a region that produced wine for millennia. — 8 years ago

Libera Estate

Melnik 55

This wine is actually the Melnik 55
made from 100% Melnik grapes.

Smells like walking through a cherry orchard, with a mug of coffee in hand.

Mulberry, touches of vanilla, Italian coffee, the wine is of a hefty medium bodied well made wine, with a cocoa tannin overture, and pinch of acidity. A solid wine,

Keratsuda Orange 2020

Here’s a fun one to try, the native Katsuda grape from Bulgaria. Not a lot of oranges out there so I’m always up for trying one when I come across them. Fascinating bouquet of tangerine pith and grapefruit rind, honeysuckle and orange blossom, walnuts, turpentine, and cold steel. On the palate fresh orange and pineapple slices, ripe peaches and grapes, with notes of bitter greens, ginger, and well integrated woodiness, and a pungent heat of white and cayenne pepper on the finish. Fresh juicy mouthfeel with a fairly short finish (which is great as I’ve been in a mood for light summer sippers lately) except for the spice heat which lingers a good while. Would probably go fantastic with salads or light starches like pilaf or farro. — 3 years ago
