  September 13, 2021 - Single piece cork, no sign of seepage, minimal saturation.
  Slight cloudiness at the bottom of the bottle.
  
  This is the wine that i tasted with my then girlfriend, now wife, on our first date.
  I purchased a few of these on the night and tucked them away wondering what the future would hold.
  
  Fast forward almost 8 years later.
  We just made our first house purchase offer and cracked this one just a few days ago.
  The wine has aged splendidly, just as i suspected. The impression of slight sweetness gets more convincing as the wine warms to room temperature. We've noticed this more on later vintages. The savoury, floral dichotomy in this wine still captivates me and i stand by my chance meetings of both this wine and my now wife.
  
  I have a slight preference for the Radikon Oslavje with a decade of age. Both are quite compelling wines.
  
  Happy days
  Drink up, or hold short term. Limited upside anticipated.

  July 27, 2020 - This being my first Slatnik, I really don't know how to rate it - but it was enjoyable. It looks like beer in the glass but it's distinct, somewhat funky on the first notes but then has a fruity and tropical finish that lingers and is very much wine. This was enjoyed as a 10 year old bottle - unsure what a younger version would be like or what 'over the hill' is for this bottling but it is certainly a wine geek's wine at the very least, and an enjoyable beverage for the rest of us.

  July 13, 2014 - World Cup Final (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): Was really into this wine. Some marmalade, orange rind, minerals, and floral notes. Lots of zippy acidity on the finish that kept this really fresh and engaging.
