Qualities and assessment according to DiVino (December 2013):
A vivid, deep ruby colour. An elegant nose with notes of ripe plums and blackberries, ink, liquorice, mint chocolate and fresh accents of pepper. A juicy and lively body with a full tannic structure. The tannins are rounded, soft, and velvety. The finish is of a very good length, elegant and grainy, with a memory of black fruit in chocolate in the aftertaste. The wine is still young and fresh, but it can be consumed now, or age for at least five years (2013-2019). An outstanding wine, a classic in its style (91 р.).
Quality and Ratings according to Catalogue of Bulgarian Wine 2015:
Beautiful deep ruby colour; multi-layered nose with an accent of blackberry juice, chalk, leather and milk chocolate; body with velvety tannins and elegant fruity sweetness; long finish with a hint of smoke. An exceptional wine.
