Tense, charged but so charming at the same. time. A delicate and subtle nose of wild dark and red berries alongside notes of uzvar, ya'an cha, earth, night flowers, and dusty road. Nuanced on the palate, juicy, vibrant with a bit dusty and quite dry tannin. Very beautiful and refined.
This wine is undeniably charming. While it is still quite young, given some time in the glass, it transforms into a quaffable beauty. It offers abundant aromas of wild dark berries such as blueberry, mulberry, and blackberry, alongside notes of uzvar, ya'an cha, earth, night flowers, and crushed gravel. On the palate, it's juicy and vibrant with a silky texture, although the tannins remain a touch rough and dry. The long aftertaste enhances its beauty, making it a delightful experience.
