Classic and classy label. Smells lovely. Rose hips, cherry juice, black berries. Flavors are also nice. Dry and balanced with sauna wood and plenty of fresh herbs (sage, oregano, mint). Has complexity, depth and chewy flavor 10 years on. (And it was 8 bucks!!). Another great, unique, flavorful, tasteful wine outta Bulgaria. Bring us more please.

Beautiful smoky and mysterious on the nose, with notes of graphite and chalk. Smooth and very drinkable.

Incredible drinkability. Has the body and the brains to be a solid 5 tool player in your wine drinking rotation

Hyi pahaa: kitkerää. Tarjoilija suositteli hyvänä viininä Unkarista tai jstn... huijasi.

Juotu syömässä Svenska teatterin raflassa Masan perheen kanssa ennen Mamma Mia.
