Kovačević Aurelius S Edition 2019

Kovačević Aurelius S Edition 2019 – a premium wine from Kovačević, Fruška Gora.

Tasting Notes
Highly intense aroma, dominated by blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant, followed by the distinctive oak aging with vanilla, cedarwood, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is complex, ethereal, and elegant with a fruity character, a subtle note of ripe red bell pepper for additional freshness, medium acidity, and a fuller body with an intense, finely granulated tannin structure. Very long, spicy finish. 12 months aging in 50% new / 50% used oak, plus 12 months in large casks.
