Kuban. Taman peninsula PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 12% vol., 385

Grape variety: Krasnostop Anapskiy

This wine is medium ruby in colour. It has a fresh, fruity, spicy and mineral nose of medium plus intensity that gives a positive first impression, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, prunes, black pepper and wet stone. It is quite balanced on the approaching full-bodied palate, although the tannins are unripe and drying, and it also lacks complexity. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (1-3 years).
