November 8, 2018 - I am as impressed as the last taster. Quite pleasant and seemingly young for a Slovenian white I should have drank 6 years ago. Not fading at all. Could hold another 2-4 years if any reason to wait.

February 21, 2017 - I just found this bottle. It's still surprisingly vibrant even though it should have been opened several years ago. Nice pungent aromas of lime, earth, gooseberry, melon, honey, some herbs, and a hint of smoke. Lemon, lime, earth, orange, minerals, and some herbs on the palate. Tart but pleasant acidity, nice roundness on the palate, decent but fading finish. Really quite nice wine. Would buy again, and treat better.

June 1, 2012 - Pop and poured. Very nice aromas of soft, sweet honeydew melon and cantaloupe with a slight spritz of lime on top. Nice soft texture on the palate with some minerality that hits initially but after a few seconds more of that cantaloupe melon kicks in. Still a saline presence is the dominant effect with plenty of minerals. Soft and a little mellow on the finish initially, but acid dials up 5 seconds after swallowing, again with more minerals than fruit, but it is underlying. Nice, but really not all that intriguing.

April 20, 2012 - musky, herbaly, and earthy, a rustic example of a sauvignon blanc which would hit the spot served with grilled fish.
