2018 Budureasca Dry Zenovius

2/24/2024 - Pichoo Likes this wine: 89 points

Que voilà une belle découverte en importation privés que cet excellent vin roumain. Au nez, plutôt tranquille. Au goût, du fruit avec des tannins à développer. Excellente première bouteille. Laissons-le vieillir quelque années!

11/26/2023 - Sagan99 Likes this wine: 86 points

Interesting.... and improved over a few days!

Though, like many on my "Drink The Rainbow" journey the past 3 years, this will not be purchased again.
Can't read the label to know the grape as yet

https://premiumwinesofromania.com/doc-dealu-mare/
A good read to know more.

Yellowish/Pink/Orange
Fresh
Nose
Green apple citrus

Alcohol
Acid high
Tannin low /none
Viscosity medium
Finish long- 60s+
Well made, simple, one dimensional, but opened and developed somewhat more interesting

( Likely a nice summer time quaffing wine... But, in this wintery present, it's just not doing it for me.
Might have to try another when the grass is green and the snow is gone!!)
This won't ever be presence in the cellar... But might be a presence for the white quaffing wino's in a group?

PS- Drink The Rainbow!

Dark fruits and subtle, but elegant spices on the nose. Quite dry on the palate, with soft tannins and a pleasant oak finish. Not the most complex wine, but overall very well done. Reminds me of a good Médoc or St-Estèphe.

Un vin biologique de Roumanie, ça fait toujours peur ! Mais la curiosité me pousse à l'essayer. Il est finalement comme c'était prévu. Passablement mauvais. Sans réel caractère, une acidité dérangeante, peu de notes de chardonnay.

Deep ruby colored. Red berry notes on the nose. Taste has light tannins but sharp spicy pepper notes on the finish. Like a combination of cab franc and blaufrankish. Enjoyed it quite a bit

Probably my first (quality) Romanian wine. Same grape as the Macedonian Temjanika and really show beautifully here - jasmine, iris, rock melon, baked yellow apple, quince. Palate is light, but lively, with just a nice grip to it. Touch of sweetness and salinity on the finish. Lingering. Yum.

Nicely balanced and structured blend of Cabsauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, dominated by fresh dark cherries, berries, leather and nice sweet vanilla background. Getting there, so can start drinking, over 3-5 years.

Tasted 100% blind except for approx price (~$20) in what must have been the most difficult blind tasting ever. Obviously I didn't get this, but who could? Guessing Romania would be super hard for anyone, but even the blend? I mean- Cab, merlot, syrah (?), Pinot noir (??) and a super obscure Romanian varietal (????) I certainly didn't get any obvious character from any of the four grapes I knew of.

It was a fairly enjoyable wine in the end, but didn't make a lot of sense to me and I don't think it was great QPR. My best guess was a Sangiovese, some sort of very ripe one with noticeable oak like a so-so Vino Nobile- felt like an awkward version of the Poliziano I tried a cpl months ago (I guess this shows how much the grapes in the blend worked in harmony, right?) Gentle sun-baked cherry, more dried fruit than fresh, with a faintly earthy, herbal, peppery kind of lift. A blast of what first smelled like leather, but then turned to alcohol fumes. Oak is noticeable, but it wasn't clearly French nor American oak- not familiar with the characteristics of Romanian oak which was used alongside French (smelled and tasted like graham cracker, but not very well integrated with the fruit.)

Palate had some good verve to it, but just didn't have enough fruit or complexity to match the structure, making the tannins and acidity feel quite harsh and disjointed. The fruit was "dried" and faded enough that I guessed it was slightly older. Food helped the tannins a lot, but easily overwhelmed the fruit. Saved a glass for day 2- not any better.

It was cool to try my first Romanian wine and I did enjoy some aspects of it- it didn't feel confected at all, fully serious, and even with some interesting peppery complexity hanging with the dried cherry fruit. Very hard to recommend for the price though, even to try a new region.

Not a very good wine. Very unbalanced and a little funky. A cute idea to put noble grapes into a blend, but not sure Pinot Noir really comes through when you have Cab, Syrah, and Merlot in the blend.

4/17/2020 - cono_sur Likes this wine: 87 points

100% Fetească Neagră from 30+ year old vines, 50% of which was aged in oak barrels for 5 months. Fresh, clean, medium+ nose of cherries, blackberry, bramble, and oak spice aromas. It is medium+ bodied and dry on the palate with soft, rounded tannins and flavours of dark berry, cherry, and wood spice. Acids are very good, while oak spice notes linger on the long finish, if a touch warming. A worthy exploration of Black Maiden.

Chardonnay com 6m de estágio em barris de carvalho + Sauvignon Blanc com 3m + Pinot Gris.

Visual amarelo claro com tons dourados. Nariz elegante, com aromas de frutas cítricas e tropicais, abacaxi mais destacado, depois um toque amadeirado e também um fundo mineral. No palato entrega certa untuosidade, acidez equilibrada e sabores que confirmam os descritores olfativos, com final cítrico de bom comprimento.

Provavelmente meu primeiro vinho romeno, foi uma grata surpresa.

Delicious. Clear, medium lemon in the glass with a hint of green, moderately aromatic nose with white floral notes, palate is dry and balanced, medium high acidity, pear, stone fruit, white peach, steely minerality leading to a medium + finish. Wish there was even a small amount of these Romanian gems exported.
