Illyrian Traditional Blatina Rose 2019

First warm day of the Spring season, so I thought it was time for some Rose’. 100% Blatina grapes from Bosnia Herzegovina. Light coppery/salmon color. Aromas and flavors of peach, apricot, red berry/cherry and citrus fruits. A nice creamy and weighty texture and also very savory. Crisp acidity brightens the finish. — a year ago

Vinarija Citluk

Barrique Blatina 2013

Probably the best blatina I‘ve tried so far. A masterpiece made of blatina grapes. Oaked for two years, dark ruby colour, black fruits with intense vanilla flavour, concentrated, dense, powerful, masculine, but still rather balanced. Very long aftertaste. — 5 years ago

Marijanovic 33 Barrique

Wow! A really really decent red blend. Velvety and smooth and at an amazing price point. Bosnia-Herzegovina has a bright future if this is an indicator of where it’s going. Highly recommend. — 6 years ago

Blatina 2015

Wine is a medium garnet, with a medium intensity on the nose. Aromas of black currants, black plum, Black cherry, and anise. On the palate there is an intense flavor that matches the nose, but some earthy notes such as the forest floor. medium to Low tannins that are very well integrated. A long and pleasant finish. The wine is balanced, with very unique, identifiable flavors. There could be a little more complexity though. Overall, a very good, almost outstanding wine! — a year ago

Vinarija Carski Vinogradi Mostar

Emporia 2019

Primarily the unique Blatina (Interesting grape-85%) with some Vranec (10%) and Alicante Bouchet (5%) blended in. Deep ruby color. Aromas of sour red fruits (cranberries and pomegranates), earth, dried flowers and herbs. Pallet if full of sour cherry and raspberry flavors along with that earthy component. No oak. Long finish. Extremely smooth tannins. Enough acidity to maintain balance. Interesting and delicious! Thank You Ron B! — a year ago
