Negru de Dragasani 2015 barrel sample I 87-89 points
Very fruity, tightly structured with exciting tannins and a long finish. Already elegant.
Cramposie Selectionnata 2016 I 84-85 points
Aromas of apple, green pear and a touch of grass. Smooth acidity, medium body with flavours of a little citrus, pear and white flowers. Round, long, with some tonic bitterness on the finish.
Cuvée Petit (Sauvignon Blanc) 2015 I 89-90 points
White-fleshed fruit, stone fruit and white flowers on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, smooth acidity, very drinkable, long and mineral. There’s something very French about it!
Feteasca Regala + Pinot Gris 2015 I 88-89 points
Sweet nose with plenty of apricot, pear and chalk. Full-bodied, mouth-filling and smooth, with ripe fruit. Very drinkable!
Pinot Noir 2013 I 86-87 points
Raspberry on the nose. Medium body, lovely acidity and plenty of red fruit, cherry, strawberry, beetroot, earth with lingering acidity.
Negru de Dragasani 2013 I 91 points
Very fruity nose, especially blackberry and sweet spices, reminiscent of Saperavi. Full-bodied and warming on the palate, with Belgian chocolate, sour cherry, plum, spice, coconut, cocoa and silky tannins. Very drinkable and long. I love it!
Cuvée Andrei (Cabernet Sauvignon) 2012 I 90-91 points
Very intense and complex nose with lots of black berry fruit and spice. Full-bodied and mouth-filling with flavours of chocolate, fruit and spice. Long and juicy.
