This is a bottle of varietal Alibernet from Slovakia that I tasted in last year's Wine Fair. Alibernet is a crossing of Alicante Bouschet with Cabernet Sauvignon bred in the Ukrainian Scientific Research Institute for Wine and Vines in Odessa in 1950. It is planted in Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. This is the dry red wine from Alibernet made by Elesko win Slovakia, who also makes a sweet version. Deep ruby, with a berry woody nose having some green leafy notes, the palate was soft leafy with red fruits and a hint of wood. A tannic leafy backbone provided structure.
