Aged in oak casks for a minimum of 5 years, Brâncoveanu VS vinars (Romanian brandy) is distilled from wine made from grapes grown in vineyards lying on the 45th Parallel (as with Cognac and Armagnac regions) so providing the ideal climatic conditions for viniculture.

Brâncoveanu vinars is named in memory of Constantin Brâncoveanu who rained Wallachia (Romania) for 25 peaceful years.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 31/10/2020

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber.

Aroma:

Vanilla fudge, caramel, dried fruit, new leather and almond with buttery cinnamon and nutmeg spice.

Taste:

Cinamon and pepper spiced dry woody tannins balance creamy vanilla fudge, caramel and sweet marzipan almond.

Aftertaste:

Dry spicy bitter oak tannins continue to offset sweet caramel, vanilla and almond.

Overall:

A vibrant brandy with a split personality - sweet caramel, vanilla and almond are balanced by assertive spicey dry oak tannins.
