Vinzavod Assenovgrad Assena 2002

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon and Mavrud (a Bulgarian cross breeding of Syrah and Nebbiolo)
Country of Origin: Bulgaria
Wine appellation: Assenovgrad
Vintage: 2002
Alcohol content: 13.0%
Colour: Deep dark garnet red
Bouquet: coffee, canned black currant, spices, hint of cocolate
Taste: medium body, very smooth and gentle, overripe black sour cherries and canned black currant, pleasant mouth drying tannins,  longer nicely lingering finish
Overall score: 4+8+12.5+7+6=87.5
Price: CZK 300

Very nice indeed, Looking at my notes from January 2013 the wine for sure developed to more canned fruit and spices, the color is amazing. If it had more presence in mid profile it would score even higher.
