The full details
alcohol, region, grapes and source
A red wine from Codru, Moldova. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The house says
Cricova is Moldova's most famous underground winery, with galleries carved into limestone near the capital, Chisinau. Codru is one of its collection wines: a dry red, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, made by the traditional method and aged in oak barrels, at 12% alcohol. The bottle read is from the 1993 vintage and is part of the house's National Collection. The producer suggests lamb with herbs, roast pheasant and cured sausages, served between 15 and 18 °C. It is not in the X-Wines database, so it has no rating from people who drank it yet. Had it? Raise a glass and tell us.

Sources
A label outside X-Wines, an open scientific dataset (de Azambuja, R. X. et al., 2023): basic details gathered and checked by the house, in the month shown under “The house says”; no rating, because ratings aren't made up. The price range only shows up once the house checks it at a big store in Brazil; this one hasn't been checked yet. Finds with the price checked on the date are in The Garimpo.
