Matalj Zamna Reserva 2020 – a premium product from Vinarija Matalj, Negotinska Krajina.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with an impenetrable core and violet reflections. Ripe plums, black cherries, tobacco spice, underpinned by cassis and candied orange peel; fruity aromas without a jammy tone, with fine cedar notes on the finish. Juicy palate with ripe, exceptionally silky tannins, dark berry fruit, good freshness, fine minerality. 'A kind of Château Margaux from Negotin' (Falstaff, Peter Moser).
