Crimea PGI, Republic of Crimea, Russia, 13% vol., 800

Grape variety: Bastardo Magarachskiy

This wine is deep ruby in colour. It has a fresh, fruity and mineral nose of medium intensity, giving a positive first impression, with aromas of blackberry, plum, cherry and wet stone. This medium-bodied wine is nicely balanced and elegant with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity, although it slightly lacks concentration, and leads to a medium finish. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (3-5 years).
