Krasnodar region, Russia, 14% vol., 1 270

Grape variety: Cabernet Franc

This wine is deep ruby in colour. It has a spicy, slightly green and unclean nose of moderate intensity, with aromas of wet soil, pencil lead, cedar, black pepper and green pepper. It is lacking balance on the full-bodied palate, with unripe, coarse tannins, culminating in a disintegrated finish of shortish length. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (1-3 years).
