Just really nice. Enjoyed with a soul vide flank steak and Greek villager salad. It went fine with the steak, of course (I could have closed my eyes and still pulled a match from my cellar). But I was just really impressed sipping this on its own - opens with some beautiful red raspberry notes, and tails off to a smooth smoky finish. Yum. I have one of these left - don’t see any reason to wait much longer.

Enjoyed at the “J-I-S-T” restaurant (Viskovo) close to Rijeka. I prefer it over the 2011. Body and structure is quite similar to 2011 but 2013 has all that seductive jammy fruits in particularly prunes, plums, blueberries and hint of peach. Nice, nice… nice! Big and bold in the mouth. Long and silky, (almost sweet) fruity aftertaste with this characteristic Plavac Mali almond bitterness and touch of mint freshness at the end. This bottle drinks like 35 euros Amarone. Drink now no need to wait, you don’t want to lose all that thick and sweet fruit. Definitely winery to keep eye on…simply to see how they will develop further.
