Dalmatia, Croatia

- 16-18 °C
The wine has softened to perfection, there isn't too much wood or smokiness, no harsh astringency, no spiciness, and yet again it does not disintegrate or dissolve in the jam-like quality or sweetness as many other overripe wines. It is solid and firm, with clear tannin edges and a phenomenal aftertaste of grape berries and skins of plavac mali. On the nose it is beautifully reminiscent of Portuguese red wines which have a lot in common with our indigenous varieties. Alcohols are not leaning into liqueurness, but their moderate strength only supports the rich texture. A powerful wine with the character of a gentle giant. Excellent. (source: Dobra Hrana).
