Wine appellation: Straldja
Vintage: 2010
Alcohol content: 13.0%
Color:deep black red with light violet hues
Bouquet: expressive, black cherries, spices, black pepper, good oak

This was very positive surprise. Blind purchase to test it and the wine was very nice, powerful, despite being 5 years old it was huge fruit and still quite big, yet not 100% settled tannins.
