Bessa Valley Winery
Enira Reserva
My image of Merlot has changed dramatically from the first glass - elegant and smooth with no feelings of the roots of a tree ;) Well done Bulgaria.

Aug 29th, 2017Funky spiced, baked wood (like in a sauna or wood stove heated mountain cabin) and red currant syrup nose. Flavors are cherry, peaty moss and black cherry Panda licorice. Finish is tart and tannic with a bit of meatiness. Maybe it's the words Thiracian Lowlands, but this tastes mysterious and exotic. In a good way.

Nov 1st, 2016Brown color. The most aggressive characteristics of this wine in aroma and flavor at this point in its life are raisinated fruits, licorice and menthol. There's also juicy tomato, the inside of an acoustic guitar, and find black table pepper. Sweet tannin and a creamy full body, but so silly smooth that it can feel light as a feather. On the the finish there's menthol, it gains a tart cherry flavor and the tannins turn up the heat drastically. Hands down the best I've ever had from Bulgaria.

Aug 18th, 2016My first Bulgarian wine as a gift from @yigittuncel and it's absolutely delicious. Fruity and ripe, could develop into a better wine within a few years
