The vintner's annotations

Dark ruby color, with purple reflection.
Fragnance is deep and lasting, made of fruity, spicy and earthy tones: dominated by blueberry, through scent of dried spices, in which you are provoced by unique scent of dried red peppers and up to distinct tones of a scent of autumn wood: humid leaves and fresh oyster mushrooms.
Wine is very extractive, full and rounded. Tannins are soft and warm. The tones of cornelian cherries, (sloe) blackberry, plum on a palace are melting into soft fruity ending. Rodoslov is the wine that vouch about vintage and origin of fragrances and flavors of cabernet, merlot and prokupac.
