Qualities and assessment according to The Catalogue of Bulgarian Wine for 2014:
A glossy black cherry colour; the nose features dry leaves, roasted plum, blackberry and blueberry and fresh herbs - mint. The body is harmonious and balanced; dry forest fruits appear again in the palate. The finish is long with hot smoke and cocoa. An outstanding wine.

Deep ruby color with an unspoiled freshness. Intense and opulent bouquet with nuances of smoke, rosehip, baked plum, red pepper and leather. The body is compact, harmonious and smooth, with a sensation of ripe black fruit and chocolate at the finish. An exceptional wine (93 points).
