Marjan Simcic Merlot Opoka Cru 2018
Purple-red colour. In the nose we find aromas of ripe plums, blueberries and blackberries combined with a smoky touch from the wood maturation. Let this wine mature a bit more and you will be rewarded with the typical maturation aromas such as leather, cedar and cigar. In the mouth full & firm with persistent, but ripe tannins. Very long aftertaste.
This is a wine for keeping. If you drink it now, a carafe for a few hours is recommended.
We keep repeating it: Marjan Simcic's wines are world class. They are served in the best restaurants in the world. And soon at your table too?
