Roșu Împărat

At last, a bottle of Red Emperor (from the Story of Harap Alb) is in my hands. And not just a regular bottle, but the 2019 vintage specifically! And it's beautiful. Red currant, red flowers, plums, leather, mint and chocolate. It is complex, multilayered and almost perfectly balanced. Almost full-bodied yet relatively delicate despite 14.9 abv. Charismatic and polished.
