Zagreus – Vinica – 2010



From the Thracian Valley in southern Bulgaria, made with the signature Bulgarian grape variety Mavrud, which typically produces full, tannic reds.

A rather dark wine with a clear cassis smell, but with none of the earthy, woody or gamey flavours that make good Bordeaux so attractive. Fresh and clean, though; I think mint, N1 says cinnamon. More medium-bodied than full, rather rough tannins, with surprising acidity (beetroot?). Pleasant as a food match, simple, not going anywhere.

78/100
