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! — 4 years ago

Another great Istrian teran! Simply delicious! Although not cheap either. — 4 years ago
Pours deep, dark ruby with undercurrents if amber out of the bottle. On the nose: bandaids, lavender, potpourri, earth, lactic acid and cigar box. Mouthfeel is a bit weak at first, but not bad. Upon first taste, it’s a little wild: Black currants, yeasty with a touch of minerality, cutting acidity, stone fruit, tobacco, chocolate. After sitting, notes of tomato leaf and fruit emerge, tobacco remains, a crisp acidity and tannic structure come to dominate the wine, such that it resembles a pleasant—if humble—Chianti or super Tuscan found on the other side of the Adriatic. Over all, a great wine for a Monday night spent critiquing a thesis. — 4 years ago

2015 Slovenian Refosco unlike any other - briny, mineral, black olives, and tight. Try in a few years, should be a standout. — 4 years ago
Very good teran, chocolate and tobacco, lots of oak but still harmonious and balanced. Would buy again! — 4 years ago

Rich taste. A bit sparkly feel in the mouth. Slightly sour aftertaste. — 3 years ago
