Tasting notes

• Appearance
  Deep ruby.
  
• Nose
  The aroma is intense, predominantly featuring black fruits. Notes of black currant, black cherry, plum, blackberry, sour cherry, and blueberry nuances are complemented by hints of pine, dark chocolate, cocoa, medium roast coffee, farmyard, leather, and iron-like undertones.
  
• Palate
  The balance between fruitiness, acidity, and fine tannins is masterfully achieved, resulting in a very elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a very friendly mouthfeel yet a solid structure, making it a very serious wine. The finish is long, with hints of spice and a slight soy sauce-like nuance. It's dry, with slightly elevated acidity, rich tannins, and moderate alcohol content. The flavor is intense, and the finish is long.
  
• Food pairing
  This wine pairs well with teppanyaki-style Wagyu beef, Genghis Khan (grilled lamb), black pork steak seasoned with Himalayan black salt, and aged cheeses.
  
• Other comments
  It's neither Bordeaux nor California style. It's also different from your typical Cabernet from Dealu Mare, Romania. There are no green pepper or rubber-like aromas; it offers clean, distinct fruitiness and elegant oak-derived elements. It's a fantastic Histria-style Cabernet that everyone should try at least once.
