From Moldova's Ukrainian border, a blend of Bastardo from Ukraine, Saperavi from Georgia and Rara Neagra from Moldova. Perfumed nose of inky blackberry and black cherry with a hint of dried blackcurrant leaves. Spiced and juicy on the palate, with more dark cherry liqueur, dark chocolate, cassis and tobacco leaves, supported with fine-grained tannins. Warming and ripe with decent acidity to refresh. Aged in French oak barriques for 12 months, the finish is long with prune and cassis flavours.
