Really really good wine from Croatia. Nice dark opaque red wine. Minimal purple. Orangey faded red rim. Notes of cherry and raspberry. Lots of baking spice and vanilla. Pepper. Good legs. Medium tannins with good grip. Woodsy taste. Very good wine! Paired with fish trio (monkfish, swordfish, sea bass). Wasn't the best combination as there were medium to medium strong tannins, but this was my fault as I elected both unprompted. This wine would have been an excellent steak wine. Really robust flavors and tannins would balance the richness meatiness of a good steak or even lamb. @2Ribara restaurant in Zadar Croatia — 8 years ago

The Dignac is one wine not to pass up, very rare wine with a unique taste. A long finish with a subtle licorice taste. A real gem from Croatia! — 8 years ago

The server introduced this one as sweeter than others in our Croatian tasting. I'm not so sure. Certainly less astringent but no fruit bomb either. If there's one thing I'd say about this one is that it should definitely be accompanied with food. You couldn't walk about throwing this one back at a party. Very nice though. — 9 years ago
This is the body is like Pinot. But with Zinfandel flavors. Super juicy. Maraschino cherries. Rich fruity. Salty. Ashy. Lots of coastal influence. For its price it's wonderful. Nice light but plenty of complex notes. — 9 years ago
B/b+ strawberries and alcohol on the nose. On the palate fruit, dry, medium tannins and medium to full body. Lots of character and medium tannins. Slight leather. Very interesting from Croatia. When chilled at cellar temp it's more like a zin with plenty of fruit in the palate and peppery finish. Would buy again — 9 years ago

Just a taste but wow that is tasty. Juicy without the jam and very nice mouth feel. — 10 years ago
Croatia might not be the first thing that comes up when you think about good wine, but it's definitely more than capable of producing great wines. Plavac Mali is closely related to Primitivo planted right across the Adriatic sea. Medium bodied with massive tannins even after 5 years in the bottle. Watermelon, dark fruits, herbs, and spices. Looks like it has a great ageing potential. — 7 years ago
