Matalj Vinarija
Kremen Kamen Cabernet Sauvignon
Serbia
If the world is my oyster, then Matalj Kremen Kamen is the pearl that I'm set out to extract. This wine is THE cult wine of Serbia. It's so hard to score a bottle; the entire process of extraction is documented on Facebook.com/ExoWineTravel, if you're interested to read the backstory.
Tasting Notes -
Medium bodied wine with brick red tone. Nose: Black fruit, plum, violet, tobacco, leather, and a hint of vanilla-flower perfumy smell. Sensational aroma that opens up gradually and elegantly, engulfing every part of my nose. Palate: To me, it has a faultless structure--the entire taste is driven by fruit flavours, from front to mid and end palate; sweet, chewy tannins kick in on mid palate and stay till the very end. Ripe plum, black fruit and black pepper mostly in the mouth, propelled by prominent minerality. End palate is extremely long--I stopped counting after 15 seconds--with round, spicy, sweet and powerful tannins.
Definitely one of the very best wines from Serbia.
