Tasted by:
(at Weekday Wines May 2021 tasting, 01 Mar 2021)
From 15- to 17-year-old Melnik vines, made by a family producer, this has red-cherry, prune and raisin aromas followed by preserved cherry, blackcurrant, plum and black coffee on the palate. Tannins are fine-grained but give a tea-like grip on the tongue.
