Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BULGARIANA |
Very deep intense purple colour. Spicy, ripe plum nose. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, spicy, tangy, crancherry flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, very crisp, unoaked, high acid finish. Ready-to-drink. This REPEAT has now has 14% alcohol (vs 14.5% alcohol for the last shipment) and 2 g/L residual sugar with a new lot number L17090 on the back label. The 2012 (**) was last released on September 17, 2016 at $13.95. TONY ASPLER / 87-points - Cedary, not a lot of fruit expression; medium-bodied, dry, floral, cherry and red currant flavour; firmly structured. You can safely ignore the totally dated October 1, 2015 tasting note appearing in the Vintages Catalogue. |

TASTING NOTE: Dark garnet to the eye, this wine has aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, coffee and freshly ground black pepper. Flavors of height-of-summer cherry, raspberry and baking spice persist on the palate through a finish that is awash in silky tannins. Best Buy.
