Due to climate changes, the grape harvest in large parts of Europe, South Africa and South America has been downright dramatic in recent years. The Romanians have little reason to complain. And so importers are increasingly interested in this region. Fortunately, we had been doing that for years. That is why we can recommend this Iacob Red, from one of the best winemakers in the country.| Color: | Red | Taste profile: | Full bodied | Country: | Romania |

Heerlijke Roemeen, deze Iacob Rosu '17 van wijnhuis Davino te Ceptura, op zo’n 80km ten Noorden vd hoofdstad Boekarest in de applicatie Dealu Mare. Leuk label met de IACOBSladder of "the stairway to heaven"? Blend van 60 Cabarnet Sauvignon dat hier voor de body en de structuur zorgt & 40 lokale Feteasca Neagra dat duidelijk 't aromatische profiel versterkt met zwart fruit & enkele subtiele terroir-verrijkte hints. Diep, glanzend robijnrood in 't glas. Énorm smaakvol, fruit-forward met mooie aroma's van rijpe bramen & cassis, zwarte kers, geconfijte pruim, rijpe zure kers & moerbei. Even later volgt 'n zweem met tonen van geroosterd hout, zwarte peper, nootmuskaat, piment, tikje anijs, tabak, laurier & enkele subtiele hints van eikenschors. In de mond rijp, stevig, droog, soepel & sappig met med+ alcoholwarmte, med zuurgraad, top-fraîcheur, rijpe tannines & eindigend in 'n lange, karakteristieke afdronk vol cassis, kers & sinaas. O zo lekker!??45????
