Coupage from Merlot (41%), Cabernet Sauvignon (34%), Petit Verdot (15%) and Syrah (10%). Aged in new, French barrels for 18 months.

Quality and Ratings according to DiVino (November 2017):
Dense, very beautiful, opaque garnet red colour. Bombastic nose with an affective aroma of mocha, dark chocolate, cocoa butter, blackberry jam and eucalyptus. The body is full, with elegant structure and very well preserved fruity freshness, together with attractive piquant and sweet, chocolaty notes, which remain during the long finish. A wine for collectors! May continue to age (2017 – 2022). An exceptional wine with its own classic style (94 pts.).

Quality and Ratings according to Catalogue of Bulgarian Wine 2017:
Opaque, deep ruby colour; complex and elegant nose, which reveals earthy notes along with notes of dried forest fruit, baked plums and moss; body with mature, healthy tannins and more fruit confit in the flavour; long finish with a sense of fruit. An exceptional wine.
