Single Barrel 2009

Quality and Ratings according to Catalogue of Bulgarian Wine 2016:
Excellent, well-preserved, deep ruby colour; complex, appealing nose with hints of spices (thyme), dried fruit (sour cherry), brioche, chocolate and delicate smoke; dense body with mature velvety tannins and a hint of apricot pits, marzipan and chocolate in the flavour bouquet; long, elegant finish. An exceptional wine.

Qualities and evaluation according to DiVino (November 2014):
A vivid, excellent, impenetrable purple colour. The nose is powerful and seductive, with sweet notes of cinnamon and vanilla, toast with butter, very dark chocolate, liquorice and freshly squeezed juice of black fruits (blueberries, blackberries, plums). A powerful, full body with velvet-soft, ripe tannins and a perfectly preserved fruit freshness. A long, tight, complex finish with aging potential (2013-2020). An outstanding wine, a classic in its style (92 р.).
