  August 9, 2022 - This is a whole new flavor for me, and I thought nothing would surprise me about wines anymore! I don't even know what to compare this wine to. The bottle is thick and heavy and it's better be because wine is muscular, massive, powerful, thick and heavy! It's sweet and sour, it's spicy and mellow, with milky texture and with full load of alcohol 15.5%
  3 words - balance, balance, balance!
  Smell and taste ?
  Aromas: blackberry, plum, black cherry, vanilla ( nice!), mocha and coke( big!).
  Taste - black cherry, plum, coke, herbs( o yes, something not sweet), vanilla ( same thing), cloves ( thank you AA for some bitterness).
  Finish - not too long ( that's why is "only" 93 pts.), but cinnamon, vanilla and milk chocolate are lovely at this point.
  Why this wine is so "thick and heavy"?
  The grapes come from a small plot of 2.5 hectares of old vines more than 100(!) years old, with a very low yield, which produce very concentrated grapes.
  
  This wine is either ignore by wine critics or underpreciated!
  🕤⏰🕐
  Second Day of drinking - nothing has changed. It's the same incredible wine.
