Great wine. Needs some time to open. Dried cherries, herbs, some leather and hint of olive brine. Awesome with food. Love it — 4 months ago

A shockingly vigorous palate for a wine if this age. Caramel, sherry, toasted nuts, orange peel, just so much going on and with the intensity of a wine a century younger. All this is driven along by an intense and thrilling acidity. What a treat. — 2 years ago

Complex yet very harmonic orange Malvasia. Overripe apples, balsamic. Notes of thyme. Finest Slovenian craftmanship! — 5 years ago

Lemon and grapefruit accents, medium body, nice acidity, enjoyed as our “pre-lunch” morning aperitif (since Alba is Latin for Dawn, seemed appropriate to drink as a morning wine). — 3 years ago

Fairly conventional and pleasant Plum and Cherry on the nose. Gets funky on the tongue. Almost like lemon juice with those same fruit flavors. Tannic heavy in the front. Happy to drink. — 6 years ago
