Quality and Ratings according to DiVino (December 2016):
Very lively, beautiful deep ruby colour. Affective nose with lightly perfumed nuances, meat, sweet vanilla, black fruit and licorice. Tight and harmonious body with good structure, mature tannins and a piquant long-lasting finish. A wine with character and potential to age (2017 – 2024). An exceptional wine with its own classic style (92 pts.).
Quality and Ratings according to Catalogue of Bulgarian Wine 2017:
Beautiful, intense ruby colour; complex, multi-layered nose, which reveals notes of exotic spices (clove, cinnamon and cardamom), followed by dried thyme, sweet tobacco and ink; body with mature, healthy tannins and an excellent balance; long finish with a hint of sour cherry and chocolate. An exceptional wine.
