Ruby red with vibrant highlights. The head aroma is toasty oak, followed by black cherries, blackberries, black olives and mint. Lovely midpalate that’s lush and silky smooth with soft tannin and flavors of black cherries, cranberries, vanilla, and chocolate covered raisins. It finishes super long with all of those flavors and a silk, sensual mouthfeel. — 8 years ago

Deep red forest fruits, silky smooth tannins and hints of creamy chocolate, dried rosemary, rich, luscious, drinking beautifully after 14 yrs of ageing. 100% Mavrud, a Bulgarian native grape linked to Mourvèdre. #bulgarian #bandol ! — 9 years ago
Love this wine. I can compare its slight acidity and balanced fruitless to the best Bordeaux samples but one can get it for a much lower price. It originates from a region that produced wine for millennia. — 9 years ago
A robust, still elegant red blend of the Bulgarian ingenious grape mavrud. Intense dark red colour; deep aroma of dark and forest fruits; ripe tannins and average acidity. Capable of aging in bottle. Perfect with wild meat dishes — 10 years ago
So memorable, a trip to Leesburg Döner was made magical with the addition of one of these. A touch of Rhône character here… Syrah seems to be at play with Mourvèdre...with the native grapes used. Great value and pairing with beef doner — 7 years ago
