Kuban. Krymsk PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 13.5% vol., 1 990

Grape variety: Chardonnay

This wine is medium lemon-green in colour. It has a fruity, oaky nose of moderate intensity, with aromas of apple, lemon, mango, honeydew melon, butter and vanilla. Although it has good concentration, it is lacking balance on the medium-bodied palate, with the alcohol overwhelming on the medium finish. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (1-3 years).

Country of purchase: Russia
