1 person found it helpfulDec 1st, 2013So good. Rich, bright, ripe, tart and very real red fruit that finishes with a tinge of brown sugar. Has a raw edge of herbaceousness that presents an excellent contrast with the fruit and adds an overall depth to the wine. Like picking and eating fruit, unwashed, straight from the vine.

Mar 15th, 2016A big wine in a big (heavy) bottle! Very dark color with aromas and flavors to match. Blackberry, nutmeg (I think I caught a fleeting whiff of pumpkin pie spice even!), mocha, and a bit of vanilla. Firm tannin structure, but good balance. This one could've lasted another 5 years, probably. 50% Vranec, 50% Plavac Mali. 3/14/22.

Oct 26th, 2021My first bottle from Macedonia,and judging from this experience, it certainly won’t be my last.
Cassis, BlackBerry, plum, mocha, vanilla, cigar, and light barnyard. The oak is prominent, but of high quality and very well integrated. The palate is deep, layered and slightly candied. Concentrated, rich, but still have a sense of balance.
For 2015, it spent 18 months in new French barrique. Will definitely buy more.

Cassis and blackberry with a deep earthy spice notes. Nicely balanced tannins with just a hint of acidity.
