Davino

Purpura Valahica Red Blend 2017

Quite surprised with the ageing of this 2017 drunk in 2024. A blood like scent (no Brett), followed by tons of primary, black currant, plums, sweet oak spice. Black. I feel a bit the alcohol and also the peak, acidity falling and warming the front palate. Yet, 2017, complex in the nose, a bit alcoholic in the mouth…stands out at his age. Good — a day ago

Cramele Recaş

Recas DOC Pinot Grigio

Enjoyed this. Especially for $8/bottle. Very mild. Hubby says it has a chlorine note which was off putting for him. I get chlorine on the palette but hey, that just tastes like summer to me. Doesn’t have the acidity like most Pinot grigios. Closer to a Cali pinot Grigio than an Italian. — 5 months ago

Cramele Recaş

Alb Demisec Fetească Regală

Enjoyed this one. Not entirely sure which vintage but think it was a great value for the price. $6.99 at Total Wine. Paired with Romanian chicken kebabs (Frigarui), bulz and a Romanian cauliflower dish. Lightly sweet but also had some nice acidity that cut through that. New grape for us- sometimes reminded me of a sauv blanc but without the minerality and tartness that sometimes comes in them. Semi-dry had me nervous but it was great. Definitely going to get more for sitting on the deck this summer! — 6 months ago
