Qualities and assessment according to DiVino (November 2013):
A dark garnet colour with soft shades. An attractive, deep nose with black fruits, cocoa, mint, coffee and coconut. A round, melted body with a powerful structure and mature tannins, plenty of black fruit in chocolate in the palate and a long, grainy, slightly mineral finish showing potential. This wine can age (2013-2018); 2100 bottles. An outstanding wine, a classic in its style (91 р.).
Qualities and assessment according to The Catalogue of Bulgarian Wine for 2014:
A sparkly opaque black cherry colour, a multi-layered nose, with nuances of juicy prune, cocoa, iodine, herbs, mint and currant in liqueur; a round and smooth body with an exceptional balance, velvety tannins and a touch of cedar in the palate; a long finish with subtle smoke and a hint of fruit. An outstanding wine.
