Gran Teran Istria Refosco 2016

Eight years after the vintage... On the nose, this is cranberry and raspberry... On the palate, raspberry syrup, cranberry/cherry concentrate... Smoke? Earth? Mushroom? The tannins are very present. Powerful but not rough. Long finish. Pepper. — 2 months ago

Vinarija Benkovac Syrah 2015

9.1

Open in the bottle for 30 minutes. Dark purple color. Nose contains oak, vanilla, and subtle spice. Wine reminds me of those we had in Mallorca but with a better, velvety texture. Paired perfectly with the Chateaubriand! Was so great we made a reservation for Thursday night! Medium finish. Great QPR and local recommendation by the restaurant staff! Atmosphere and scenery definitely influenced the overall experience, but that’s how it’s supposed to be!! — 4 years ago

Poššip Korcula Vineyard Kvalitetno Suho Vino Pošip 2022

Rich and full-bodied white with solid notes of citrus, kumquats, and hint of quince. Lively acidity and delicate notes of honeysuckle. A perfect companion for fried calamari, and coconut shrimp appetizers. One of my top Croatian white from a famous and legendary winemaker Mike Grgich (well-known in Napa). — 4 months ago
