The wine is clear and bright with a deep (opaque) ruby colour.
The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of walnut, cedar, black pepper, dark plums and dark cherries.
The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(+) acidity. It has fine-grained tannins and a high slightly warm alcohol. It has a full body and medium(+) intensity flavours. The finish is medium(+).
Interesting wine, different. It is balanced in the mouth, with a very integrated acidity, and a decent concentration and length. Maybe a bit too bold, but nice overall.

My first wine from Macedonia. Some Greek and Italian influence. Dark bloody color, dried fruit and nice grippy tannins. Great first impression!
