(SYP) Small glass. The nose is very similar to that of Kaamen II - loads of red bayberry and also fresh apples. It is juicy on the palate, yet the tannins are much firmer compared with II. This will need some years to come around. 90+

Medium ruby colored. Expressive nose with lots of red berries. On the palate fresh red cherries, blueberries, ripe raspberries, soft strawberry cotton candy and some chalky notes in the background. Medium bodied with a fresh medium (+) intense acidity. Tannins are medium intense, not completely integrated. Good dense structure and a nice fruit depth. Medium overall complexity. Good overall balance. It’s not an elegant wine, it’s a wild and sexy wine which brings a lot of fun. The finish is very savory and medium long to long. This is a lot of fun and you won’t be disappointed when popping the cork now but it can easily age another few years. I haven’t had a Croatian wine for the past two years and I definitely need to change this. These local grape varieties can be super interesting. I’m not a big fan of natural wines but if they are as enjoyable as this little beauty you can count me in. (IG)
