VINODEL'NYA VEDERNIKOV (Rostov-on-Don region, Russia)
DONSKAYA CHASHA RED BLEND (100%Tsymlyansky Cherny, oak aged)
Vintage 2010
Tasted 25/01/2015
Here comes something special.
Made of Russian indigenous red (Tsymlyanskiy Cherny 100%) maturated in oak barrels for 9 months. This wine found on Vivino (mid of 2014) forced me look on Russian winemaking thoroughly.
Old clay brick to dark garnet colour.
Nose evolves on decanting: mulberry & cardamom, plum to pomegranate, chokeberry, rye bread and finally black pepper with wild cherry.
Palate full of berries: pomegranate, red currant, blackthorn, viburnum, cornel. Initial acidicity fades and velvety tannins rises with aeration.
Vivid finish with viburnum, pomegranate, honeysuckle hints.
Most peculiar red of memorable identity I ever had so far!
