I give this a rather high ratings for my standards, it really came through in terms of what I was hoping g to get from it. A quite minerally, stony bony dry finish, yet a nice bit of funkiness and a raw feeling yet well made. Quite light, had it with seafood, paired really well IMO. — 6 years ago

I had vintage 2016 (drank it in 2023) - it was well rounded, great taste of berries, easy to drink. — 3 years ago
Deep nose of dark berry fruits, dark cherry fruits and chunky earth and wet soil. Somewhat refined which is unusual for MDA. Palate is super concentrated and sleek. Good purity and concentration. Terrific refinement. Velvety tannins and superb finesse. Lovely tiny berry fruit intensity and length. Like if one of the polished traditional Rhone guys (Durand, Tunnel) made MDA. Lovely stuff and lots of upside. Gets more rustic and charming while retaining its sleek fruit. Stoney tannins. Very ripe. Terrific. — 4 years ago

Cor rubra não muito escura, com um corpo denso de lágrimas lentas. Um bom aroma de frutas vermelhas com certa homogeneidade com álcool bem no fundo. Na boca é bem encorpado e de forte presença, tem uma acidez marcante e um rastro longo de madeira amarga e com sensaçãode caqui. — 3 years ago
An excellent blend from an excellent winery. Obviously the supervision of Michel Rolland payed off. Rich and fruity but than again well polished tanins and great overall balance make zhis wine exquisite. Sincerely recommend. — 7 years ago
Another great surprise from Bulgaria! An excellent pinot noir, rich, thick, less elegant and more powerful. I like it! — 7 years ago

55% Cab Franc, 45% Cab Sauvignon. Full-bodied, dark, a little earthy with nice fruit notes showing through. Not as bright as a Loire Valley Cab Franc, yet still tasty and interesting. With gnocchi and Brussels sprouts on a Wednesday. — a year ago
