Massandra South Coast Kagor 1944
Massandra South Coast Kagor 1944 is a luscious, very full-bodied red from Cabernet Sauvignon (Crimea, Ukraine), in the sweet and dessert wines style. Tannins are very firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is noticeable. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 82-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with steak, lamb, fruit dessert, blue cheese.
