Crama DeMatei - Matei - Red

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon & Fetească Neagră

Limited Edition | 1700 Bottles

An intensely ruby red wine with a brick-like gleam, dense and structurally robust. The olfactory experience is intense and complex, a blend of fresh black fruits, dried plums, and figs, intertwined with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, along with a touch of bitter chocolate and mint cream. Upon a slight warming of 2-3 degrees, subtle notes of vanilla-flavored pipe tobacco and artisan-crafted leather emerge.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, well-structured, with velvety tannins and an almost perfect balance. Chocolate, a subtly mentholated note, and the presence of fruits revisit the palate, leading to a prolonged aftertaste. This wine has the potential to evolve gracefully for at least another 15 years, with the perfect consumption period being around 8 years from the harvest date.
