This Merlot & Syrah blend features a vibrant, medium-intensity red color and a fragrant bouquet of plum, cherry, cardamom, and nutmeg, with subtle earthy notes. The juicy, elegant body offers good structure, with flavors of leather and sweet root. It finishes with fine acidity and an aftertaste of blackcurrant, tobacco, and black pepper. It has good potential for development until 2027.

Winemaker notes
This is a Merlot-driven blend (40% Syrah) with great structure, long and complex, marked by intense notes of red fruits and spices. Its volume in the mouth, its supple tannins, its long finish, and its overall balance make it a perfect representative of the vintage.
When it comes to the Sakar hills, the last name Bratanov needs no introduction. The vineyards are sustainably maintained and the grapes are hand-harvested and the wines here present wonderful bright fruit and lush middle palate ripeness with an ever-present terroir identity.
