Republic of Crimea, Russia, 11.5 - 13.5% vol., 995

Grape variety: Odesskiy Chernyy

This wine is deep ruby in colour. It has a fruity but also slightly unclean nose of moderate intensity, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, wet soil, wet hay and some geranium taint. This fairly problematic wine has coarse, unfriendly tannins on the full-bodied palate, and very much lacks complexity. Ready for drinking.
