Tasted as part of the 2016 Şarap Tutkunları Tasting in İzmir where I was invited as a guest along with Yiannis Karakasis MW, Tuğba Altınöz WSETDIP, Murat Yankı and Serdar Balkaya. The tasting panel included Dilek Caner MW, İsa Bal MS and Ayhan Güleyen. The following tasting note and the relevant score belongs to me only. Shiny ruby. Overwhelmed by its oak upfront and masking what is hiding behind at least on the nose. Beyond that this is nicely flowing on the palate, mouth-wateringly acidic with a bit of ripeness but long-standing aftertaste with strawberry jam and cherry confectionary.
