4.20 / 5.0750 ml@Lo Kyiv

This wine features a sophisticated and charming bouquet that elegantly weaves together cherry, ripe strawberry, mushrooms, wet forest floor, salami, rose petals, and an array of spices. Its elegance is further underscored by an almost perfect balance, juicy character, and sheer deliciousness, making it not just a wine to enjoy, but one to ponder over. There is something meditative about this wine. With patience and proper ageing, it can evolve into a truly transcendent experience (and we've witnessed it with 1999).

4.20 / 5.0750 ml@Pantagruel

Kicked off shy, then gradually threw caution to the wind, unveiling a medley of cherry, underbrush, truffles, salami, raw meat, rose petals, black pepper, confiture, and strawberry. A poised elegance in its balance that's nearly spot-on, coupled with a sophistication and juiciness that's just killer. Every sip is a pleasure.
