Verifying the last taste. Yes, this is too young. Leave until 2020.
(Excellent fruit. Very ripe and rich, though manages to feel quite agile and possesses some grace. But also a bit too tight and tannic and chalky at the moment.)

Very good. However, this is coming across as young and very tight on this showing, with the sweet fruit rather hidden behind fierce tannins: it is not expressing itself fully, though this is OK to drink at the moment. I'd suggest waiting until 2020 to see if some of the sweat, straw and molasses start to emerge, or later. 90-95 but NR due to the wide band I am suggesting.

Purchased at the winery. Fantastic wine. Amazing balance, flavor profile and finish. Croatian wines are so impressive. Interesting texture and varietal has wonderful complexity, different than a Zin or Cab, that adds to the intrigue.
