  Some age of rim, red fruits and veggie hints but not unpleasant. On the palate there is a big fruit hit, spices (cinnamon / nutmeg) quite long with firm but not harsh tannins. Good balance. Well made good value wine.

  Smooth yet heavy. Nice drinking but nothing memorable.

  Less than beautiful color and unremarkable nose with a little new car smell gives way to much better than expected palate of stone fruit, cherry juice, and the type of caramel notes that sometimes come out of a port or bourbon barrel. Versatile with food, but could happily drink it without. Makes a nice house red at this price point.

  Oog: Diep robijnrood.
  Neus: Aangenaam mooie pittige geur. Veel rood fruit maar ook hout, tabak en chocolade.
  Smaak: Zeer aangename verrassing, rood fruit, eikenhout, tabak, chocolade, vanille en tannines.
  
  Gedronken als begeleider van een redelijk pittige stoofschotel van rundvlees waar het heel goed bij past.
  
  Ik was verrast van de mooie kwaliteit van deze Bulgaarse wijn. Het is goed merkbaar dat ze twaalf maanden op eikenhout heeft gelegen. Het effect ervan ligt tussen een stevige Bordeaux en een goede Spaanse Reserva in.
  Toch scoor ik hier niet meer dan 87/100 vanwege de (te) vele bitterstoffen. Ik vermoed dat deze wijn nog een jaar of twee moet liggen om verder te rijpen. Ik verwacht dat dan mijn score naar de 90/91 zal gaan.

  On pop and pour or with time in the glass, this had a nice array of blackberry and cherry with firm dusty tannins on the back end. While somewhat one dimensional, it is a nice QPR. I believe this has plenty of time left.
