Purcari
Freedom Blend Bastardo Blend
South Eastern, Moldova
Deep purple with bright ruby highlights. Inviting nose of herby wild blackberry. Medium full palate recalls the nose adding juicy plum, light oak, medium acidity, and dusty medium tannins. Fruit-forward, but in a European way making a great "Tuesday night" OW wine for NW fare. An intro to the eastern Euro varieties is a plus. Drink now.

My first wine I’ve ever tasted from Moldova. Jancis Robinson reviewed it in Financial Times January 27 2023. Tasting and decanting now… purple, very good clarity. Aromas of leather (wood) and strawberry, flavors of strawberry and cherry with wood, light to moderate seed and skin tannins on finish. Light bodied but solid tannin structure. Needs at least 60 minutes to decant. 24 hours later, tasting really well, some real character. A worthy red table wine

Jan 27th, 2024The blend with Saperavi makes it a very good wine, the best I tryed from Purcari.

Smooth, fruity, quite interesting. I think it is more of a Bordeaux style wine.
