Monogram Mavrud & Rubin 2012

Qualities according to Catalogue of Bulgarian Wine 2016:
Beautiful, intense ruby colour; interesting, complex nose, in which one may sense notes of peppercorn, ink, blueberry juice and delicate musk; elegant body with healthy tannins and a rich flavour bouquet with pitted fruit (cherry), fresh walnuts, mint and sweet tobacco; a dryish finish with a light fruity sweetness. Exceptional wine.

Quality and Ratings according to DiVino (January 2016):
Dark ruby colour. The liqueur nose is appealing with notes of ripe black fruit in caramel and vanilla, sweet spices, and hints of smoke. Elegant, dense body with powerful, mature tannins, and accents of tar and leather in the flavour bouquet and a piquant finish, which provides significant potential (2016 - 2021). Excellent wine (89 points).
