Simple crimson color and rim.
Extremely rich on the nose with brambles of layered herbs and inky fruits hinting at the terroir. Astringency on the nose as well with minimal tannins.
Remarkably, this tastes how it smells; full-bodied and fresh with a medium-long finish that opens up nicely. — 16 days ago

100% Plavac Mali, Croatia’s most popular red grape variety and also, recently discovered, an offspring of Zindandel, from vineyards on the Pelješac peninsula on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast. Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels (and another 4 years in bottle in this case). Notes of strawberry and smoke. A hint of cherry cola that I’ve noticed in some Zinfandels. I thought it would be a fruit bomb, but after some airing it was totally balanced. Earthy, savory, pleasant to drink — 2 years ago

So much delicious funk! There's dried fig and salty herbs, and tobacco. It drinks like a funky zin. — a month ago

Perfect Plavac Mali. Amazing depth and complexity. Full-bodied wine tasting of cranberry, Earth and dark fruit. Powerful nose of earth and leather. Perfect for steak or lamb. — 7 months ago

A blend of 50% each Plavec and Vranec from a single vineyard in Macedonia.
Inky purple/black color. Nose is all brambles and leaf with a backing of spicy plum skin. Volume is large, texture is rich, oily and firming on the finish. — 3 years ago

9.0

Strong cherry nose with bold undertones of wet hay, mud, manure and crushed granite or asphalt. Color of dark cherry, medium bodied, with a strong tannic palate that immediately dries the tongue and top of the mouth. Palette is sharp and prominent, with notes of brandy and dark cherry, pepper, sharp acidity, with a short finish with notes of dark chocolate, iron and bloody meat at the edges. — 2 months ago

Less dry as it is aged longer, with a hint of vanilla and oak, complex and robust, would pair well with game meat. — 2 years ago
