Despite attractive bottle and label statement of "vintage" ("марочное") monovarietal 100% Merlot, the content found was liquid disappointment. That's probably one of clearest evidences of dark side of Russian winemaking, i.e. using "bulk wine material" (mostly Spanish and South African) in low-end wines.

Ruby red colored, purple rim.
Weak aromas of red berries, plum, shade of 
Light+ body, excessive acidity, insensible tannins. Red berries (red currant, cornel, viburnum).
Lukily, finish was short)
