Brown is the new orange. This 2006 is drinking surprisingly bright and salty for a wine it's age and color. Dirty. And appealing. Though not as "weird" as I expected. — 10 years ago
Croatian sparkling red is so savory and delicious — 12 years ago
Pretty aggressive acidity — 2 months ago
Light bodied, sharp, with lively acidity and brightness. 2007 in good shape, but I wouldn’t wait much longer. — 3 years ago
My first 'orange' wine. Paired well with Serbian red pepper spread and burek pie. Cardamom, pear. — 10 years ago

What a weirdly animal, mushroom, forest( swamp) nose! Lots of extended skin contact , 10 days I believe. Natural fermentation and extended ( 5 years)aging in large barrels.No temperature control.Teran 40%, Merlot 40% Cab 20%. Iron, Plums, berries, bark, rocks, nails…
This is some wild and wooly stuff right across the Italian border in Slovenia.
Switching to a “proper”big glass from a decent Riedel stem tames down the funk and it finishes lighter than one may expect. Still bright at 13 years. Only 11.5°.
Very weirdly interesting.
