Klabjan - Refosk Black Label
Klabjan - Refosk Black Label
Full of black fruit, imagine current and damson jam, paired with tertiary aromas like chocolate and truffle. Tastes almost like an Amarone with much higher acidity and precise balance, smooth and velvety tannins, a wine with real power!
This and a fireplace are a match made in heaven.
