Haven't tasted this wine in a while. Remember that it shares the name with few other Cascina Tavijn wines. This one is made of Slarina. Plum, chocolate, and spices. Quite tannic, refreshing and tasty. Long and mineral finish.
So here I am enchanted by yet another bottle of Slarina, this time with yet another charming label. Yes, the same wine, just different label. Sour cherry, plum, spices and herbs. Wonderful body and tannins, refreshing and tasty. Long and mineral finish. Love it!
Two different wines under the same name (or the same lowest appellation). As far I as can tell (based on the prices), this bottle is not an entry wine. To bump the confusion to the highest order, this wine also has multiple labels - all with pictures that I could draw (would have to put some effort though). Made from a very rare grape - Slarina. Beautiful wine. Sour cherry, plum, spices and herbs. I just love how it tastes. Very good acidity and tannins, I love the sensation of long dry finish. Flavours of plum with some reductive hints.
