Legenda Merlot 2004 £5.99
Hand-picked Merlot - from vineyards grown on the banks of the Kitay River - with top awards from Brussels, London and Italy's biggest wine show! Moldova has a winemaking heritage that stretches back more than 2000 years and once the supplier to the Russian Imperial Court, is now reliving its former glory with brilliant wines. Dark cherry hue, plum and tobacco aromas, red fruit flavours with a hint of chocolatey richness. In other words all the sumptuous flavours of fine St-Emilion or Pomerol. ''Very impressive'' (The Times).
