Qualities and assessment according to DiVino (November 2013):
A beautiful, playful purple colour with soft tints. An elegant, very tempting nose with predominant notes of sweet spices, roasted peppers, cocoa, black cherry, plum, ink and mint. A full, tight body with excellent concentration and a firm tannic structure, ripe, preserved fruit and a very long, slightly spicy finish, which shows remarkable aging potential (2013-2018) . An outstanding wine, a classic in its style (91 р.).

A beautiful glossy ruby colour; an elegant multi-layered nose with cassis, blueberry syrup, moss, cold smoke and vanilla pod, a tight body with velvety tannins and a pleasant saltiness in the taste, a very long aftertaste with a hint of cocoa. An outstanding wine.
