Best wine we had on our Croatian vacation — 5 months 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
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. — 21 days 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. — 6 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

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