  93/100 #myopinionaboutwine
  
  So, let's start as expected with a visual analysis - the wine has a very beautiful playing pale golden color with slightly greenish tints.
  
  The scents made me plunge into rather long thoughts. As a result, I can say that the wine has very multifaceted aromas of high quality and medium intensity: ripe mango fruit, ripe pear, orange, honey, sweet banana (which struck me), vanilla and flowering aromas
  
  The taste of the wine is "crispy", round with an intense taste (I would especially emphasize the excellent minerality and taste of salty pebbles). The wine has a wide gastronomic use due to its excellent acidity against the background of a good balance
  
  In general, a wonderful wine, but I don't think it is fully ripe yet ... I think the window for this wine is 2022-2023

  Croatian white wine from Istria: Malvasia Istriana. 13 % alcohol.
  
  Beautiful grayish/silver color.
  
  Refreshing aromas of pear, lime and minerals. Intense flavors of ripe pear, white flowers, lime and minerals.
  
  Dry. Medium body. Medium acidity. Excellent balance. Good structure. Low complexity. Elegant.
  
  Medium finish with white flowers and minerals.
  
  Having tried almost every vintage over the last 10 years. I would say that this is the best white Croatian wine that is widely available, in almost every shop, over the country. Some vintages are better than others, but Kozlovic always manage to deliver a wine of good quality. This vintage is no exception. Balanced, intense and elegant. Great with food (Ramen) and very good on its own. 91/100
