Duet Lex Goriška Brda Merlot Blend

Total monster even after open for 2 days.

I asked the somm, "what's your favorite Slovenian red wine on the list?" And this is what she poured.

2007 Duet Lex. This is serious and fun! Has all the Bordeaux fireworks and perfectly showing with 8+ years in bottle. Has at least 10+!

Mostly merlot a selection aged 4 years in barrel

For the amount of oak and the style I can't believe I liked this so much.

Last bottle on my list! Awesome #wine

2006

Good blend

I love red blends and this Slovenian product - for the price - is tops in my book. Good body, lots of berries, a nice dose of tannins; well balanced all around.

2007, Edi Simcic, Duet Lex, Goriska Brda, Slovenia. Merlot/Cab. Aged for 10 years in barrel before bottling. The new oak is there but not overpowering and well integrated. This is a big wine that paired well with ribeyes.
