Perfection in the wine-cellar Edi Simčič! Emphasis on details.This wine is their crown jewel. A lot of Merlot, less Cabarnet Sauvignon and just a drop of Cabarnet Franc. Very rich, full wine . Outstanding after-taste. Aromas are fantastic; ripe fruit, spices, tobacco, coffee, chocolate. Amazing elegance, width in the mouth and the taste just lingers and lingers. Try it with red meat or anything rich on taste. Or you can enjoy it on its own.
