2007 Duet Lex. This is serious and fun! Has all the Bordeaux fireworks and perfectly showing with 8+ years in bottle. Has at least 10+!

I love red blends and this Slovenian product - for the price - is tops in my book. Good body, lots of berries, a nice dose of tannins; well balanced all around.

2007, Edi Simcic, Duet Lex, Goriska Brda, Slovenia. Merlot/Cab. Aged for 10 years in barrel before bottling. The new oak is there but not overpowering and well integrated. This is a big wine that paired well with ribeyes.

2007 Vintage - Slovenia! This is an elegant monster. Enjoyed with grilled tenderloin and friends. Decanted for two hours prior to drinking. That definitely loosened it up. It's complex and every sip brought something a little different for me. Saddle leather for sure, mocha and earth. Reminescent of Drinking coffee while eating Black currant buttermilk scones while walking a little too close to a petting zoo.

Excellent structure. Merlot and Cabernet franc elicit a lot of greenery on the nose coupled with a ton of cherry. Strong tannins that would make this great years from now.
