Not really my thing. Typical simple rosé territory - too sweet, too creamy, oily and cloying. The nose has some red berry character, but it's quickly drowned in the buttery, sugared midpalate. Drinks like something designed for a restaurant menu where nobody asks too many questions. Blind, I thought it was Moldovan - funny, since I'm Bessarabian myself, and Frumushika-Nova sits in the Budjak steppe where that heritage still echoes. Wrong country in the strict sense, right cultural neighbourhood.
