Qualities and assessment according to DiVino (October 2013):
A deep, dense garnet red colour. The nose is fine, noble and multi-levelled at once. In the foreground are ethereal, perfume notes of juniper, eucalyptus and mint, followed by juicy ripe forest fruits (bilberry), cocoa, coffee, wet moss and gunpowder. An extremely powerful, yet flexible and tight body with mature velvety tannins and a somewhat salty, mineral dry finish. The wine shows character and class. It has a remarkable aging potential (2013-2020).An outstanding wine, a classic in its style (91 р.).
