The complexity is mesmerizing, captivating the senses with its intensity and a pillow-like mousse. The finish is long and flavourful, underscoring the overall excellence of this great wine.

The wine offers a captivating and intense bouquet of lemon candy, freshly baked bread, cider, and slightly bruised apple. Its medium-full body is vinous, clean, and precise, with a racy and focused character. The aftertaste is lasting and flavourful.
Despite initial concerns about its condition after the journey to Kyiv, the wine turned out to be in a beautiful state. I can only wonder how it will improve with time.
