  Medium, purple color.
  
  Upon opening the nose is quite one-dimensional with tons of blueberry-fruit and grassy herbs. It grows and grows with air showing more and more layers. The second night I pick up dark cherry, moist soil, balsamic spice, violets and a touch of raw meat.
  
  Medium(+) body and hardly any tannins at all but the super high, goji berry-like, acidity provides more than enough structure. Great intensity to the flavors that is dominated by a cool, vibrant, red and blue toned fruit. Good weight on the palate despite its moderate alcohol (11% abv). Long finish with the acidity really biting your cheeks.
  
  This wine is still very youthful and will probably age forever thanks to the acidity. My experience with Terrano limited to this very bottle. As far as I know Škerk is one of the best producers of Terrano and this was a lovely bottle of wine. Give it a lot of air or preferably further aging.
