Cricova Cabernet 1990 Cellar Collection Wine is produced from the finest grapes of the classical european Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes, cultivated on the  sunny, soil-rich slopes of the Moldavian hills.

Only the best harvest years make it into the famous Cricova cellars following the stringent assesment of the Cricova oenologists. Innitially matured in the french oak casks, the Cricova Cabernet 1990 Cellar Collection Wine was then cork-bottled and wax sealed, to be cellared in the underground city of Cricova, situated at a depth of 80m, galleries which are characterised by a unique microclimate: vibration free, an all-year-around temperature of 12º-14ºC and humidity of 85-95%. This 1990 wine is a reserve collection and there have been made just a limited quantity of this elegantly matured wine from the outstanding grapes of the 100% 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Clive's notes

Immediatelly after decanting: Quite a pale wine, fading rim and light red core. A spicy, musty, fruit melange with good density. The palate is quite deliciously refreshing, dry and sapid with a dusty savoury finish. It is a well structured wine with a light fruitiness; it feels tender and gentle with a fragile character and redcurrant freshness. The finish is of some length and textured.
3 hours later: The time open has filled out the wine giving it more depth and a more attractive fruit.
24 hours later: Dense nose with light spice and gentle rosehip fruit, sapid juicy character, really fresh.
