Assessment of DiVino (December 2013)
The colour is vivid, soft, mature garnet. An elegant, noble and complex nose with fine notes of dried tomatoes, red pepper and ripe black fruit, earthy and delicate floral notes. A balanced, full body with mature suede tannins, with elegant musk notes in the palate and a long, spicy finish, in which the memory of black fruit and black tea remains. It can be drunk right away, but it can also age for at least five years (2013-2020). An outstanding wine, a classic in its style (92 р.).
Vinobg:
Parker gave it 91 points, but the Decanter World Wine Awards 2012 points were not enough even for the bronze medal, but only for a recommendation, so to say. We were very disappointed with their rating. "From the Cellar 2009" felt into the same category. It looked like an attempt to ruin their reputation. Is that wine from the wrong barrel or what?
P.S.
To check that matter, we immediately opened 2 bottles from our cellar. Well, it was the same fantastic wine. Then we opened some other bottles for comparison and more objectivity. We discussed the competitions, barrels, our luck, the international situation, our local team Beroe at the Super Cup final and other life issues. In the end we left for our respective homes relatively peacefully.
