"Truly classic Bordeaux wine, smelling of forrest floor, smoked paprika and tobacco. It is not senile - the acidic energy of redcurrant on the palate is remarkable. Slender almost transparent. Even the most orthodox do not produce such wines. A back in time experience!" (Wojciech Bońkowski, Ferment nr 4).
