This is the Bibich "R6" Riserva. A blend of Babić , Plavina and Lasina matured in small American oak barriques. A lovely mix of fruit and structure. Fruit is fresh and deep. Quite complex and hard to pin down. Bouquet flat and a bit uninteresting though. Hints of the Croatian terroir (which I associated with baked fig and wet hay), but quite an international style. Some originality though. I like this, but perhaps not enough character to go out of my way to buy again. 89-90.

Port4olio Tasting (O Hotel, LA): Ripe but flat fruit. Quite tannic and very structured so this could improve.
