91 poen za Gemini 2018, Vinarija Ralević

Gotovo sedam godina staro, vino je još uvek mladalačko i sveže uz dodatnih nekoliko godina koje ga iščekuju do zenita. Već same klasične tamne voćne arome su pune i izdašne - kupina, borovnica, crna ribizla, šljiva i crna trešnja - zajedno sa mirisima mirođije, sušenog origana i bosiljka, te strugotine od olovke i nota hrasta. 

Čak i sa 30 meseci odležavanja u novim francuskim barik buradima, karakter hrasta je harmonično integrisan na nepcu gde se iskazuje ekstrakt zrelog crnog voća, pojedine note kedra, začina i lista paradajza, dodir moke sa nešto štipkajućih – i pomalo drskih – tanina uz diskretnu slankastu završnicu. 

Budite sigurni da je vino dekantirano pre konzumiranja - potrebno mu je neko vreme da se razvije.

Cabernet Sauvignon clearly grows very well in Serbian vineyards, and this Gemini 2018 from Vinarija Ralevic is yet another palate pleasing result. 

Nearly 7 years old, and the wine is still youthful and fresh with several years ahead of it. The classic dark fruit aromatics alone are full and bountiful - blackberry, bilberry, blackcurrant, plum and black cherry – along with whiffs of dill, dried oregano and basil, pencil shavings and a touch of oak. 

Even with 30 months of ageing in new French barriques, the oak character is harmoniously integrated also on the palate, which shows off ripe dark fruit extract, some notes of cedar, spice and tomato leaf, a touch of mocha, some grippy – and a bit sassy - tannins, and a discreet saline finish. 

Be sure to decant before drinking – this wine needs some time to unfold.   |
