The best Romanian Red

Since a short time I found my favorite Romanian Red Wine. It was really like a fire, like a love at first sight (or first taste).
I was sitting at a barbeque, which is one of the favorite occupations of the Romanians during their spare time. And one of the other guests started talking and talking about a special Red wine. Man, you are talking too much, about that Red Wine, I reckoned and then suddenly expressed him it. He was happy, he was deep relieved and brought 2 liter of Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 from Samburesti.

It was really red, almost black (I suspect to contain also a quarter of Malbec), but comparing with other Romania's Cabernet Sauvignon it was far away. It was genuine, it was special, it was an original and a winner.

The vineyard of Samburesti has a long, special legendary tradition. It lies on the hills, near the river Olt and near the mountains, which chill all the climate. The soil is also very special, consisting on stones and boulders, which permit the grapes a slowly maturation during nights, when liberate the minerals!

This wine is almost black, like coal, due to the very special minerals circulating through that soil, coming perhaps from another time. This wine is very serious, almost solemn like a war declaration. This wine is also cobby and arogant like a Middle Age senior. This wine has a fantastic color of a black angel. In what is concerning color, it has no rival in Romania, you can be sure.

It has a tough stony flavor of a savage animal, or of a reindeer moss growing on red stones. It wraps first the mouth with an amazing vegetable  sensation of an unknown fruit growing on ice. Then he sits thoroughly deploying all his force and occupying all your thoughts for weeks. After drinking this fantastic wine, for a few weeks you are going to wake up confused,  leaking your dried lips, and dreaming at this aristocratic wine crossing  your blood vessels. As long you did not drink this wine, it is useless for me trying desperately to describe it. We simply don't speak the same language. So come, book and drink and you'll be able to understand this wine and Romania.
