Bulgarian wines - Have the blockbusters improved ? (Wineground Bottles&Beans - Varna): This Malbec is phenomenal straight after opening, winning everyone at first (just to become second in the end). Lovely green component mixed with succulent dark fruits, with depth to 3D level. Medium bodied, friendly tannins. So easy to be liked. One might say it has no structure, but for me charming all over.

I must confess I completely missed this wine when I first taste it (5y ago), but now what a treat it is. Double decanted 3hrs in advance. All the sharp edges are nicely rounded, balanced and smooth with velvet appearance in the mouth. Straight after opening there were clear black cherry perfume backed by decent freshness, but later emerged some tar and earthy tones that all mixed up beautifully together -clearly WOTN.

Decanted for 2 hrs, violet color, very youthful - rough and coarse but on the fruity side, not smooth, rather a rebel of a wine than a story teller, very intriguing would love to explore the other bottles I have, even though I will not come back to it within the next 2 years. I'm still staying behind my previous notes, as I cant completely understand the fuss'n'buzz bout the wine at the moment, although will highly recommend it to anyone who hadn't tried it yet.

A Bg Malbec ... not very often..., an interesting wine, very soft tanins, I opened the wine and strange green component noted at the beggining not very typical, then the second day a dense shiraz-like chocolate feeling was all over. Nice effort, though if blind would never guess it is malbec.
