Straw gold colour indicates that it is likely getting on in age.
Nose is a nondescript very-ripe nectarine and fino sherry smell. Palate has a hint of acidity to keep things together, again almost like a heavier fino in character.
Out of a full bottle this wine might be travelling better, however out of 187ml it was probably better 3 years ago.

Hairy Crab Night 2014 (Capital Restaurant, New Bridge Road, Singapore): In spite of having had this in Montenegro a few months ago (and having enjoyed it quite a bit), I had absolutely no idea what it was when it was served blind. It was pretty good again though. The nose had a rather neutral white-fruitedness to it along with a touch of citrus lime zest and some chalk notes. The mid-bodied palate had a nice fullness of flavour, with a riper white fruited character than the nose. Clean acidity and a sprinkling of acidity gave the wine a nice sense of cut as it moved into the finish. Simple, undemonstrative, but quite pleasant and food-friendly.

100% Krstač.
From 187ml bottle, popped and poured.
