Heady nose of smoke (yes, road tar), roses... A tart cherry dum-dum, covered in earthy black truffles, with soy drizzled on top, then add some plums for good measure. So much going on with this wine. After a while in the glass, the leather, sea air and chewing tobacco surfaces and the cherry becomes more foraged forestry berry fruits. Exhilarating. One hour decant. — 5 years ago

Good price at warehouse so I snagged one for wiener schnitzel dinner w/ cateloupe, prosciutto, radicchio &fig salad. Opened to give it a lot of air. Cream soda dum dum, Fuji apple, hint of gasoline but not a lot. Goes onto a grapefruit/citrus thing and a nice cream soda finish. Mineral and wonderfully acidic. Need to find older bottles! — 3 years ago
Rusted and medicinal, this Croatian wine offers so much savory intrigue. Pine sap, leather, blood, salt, and balsamic soaked herbs - the flavors find focus and precision on the lifted, driven finish. Thanks for your hospitality @Vinny Eng and for such an fascinating progression of wines! — 7 years ago
