Agreed ... For some reasons the cork seems to be an issue despite proper cellaring. Despite this ... a wonderful Cabernet with finesse, complexity and incredible length. — 10 years ago

Le Mont Benoit 1er Cru Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier Blend 2010

This is great champagne that I opened without looking at the label and now I'm out of it and I forgot where I got it and I was hoping it was a cheap discovery but no, delectable just told me about it, and it's awesome grower champagne that's worth every penny that they charge for it. — 10 years ago

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2012

This is s Fresh Market exclusive. Really interesting too - a blend of two Chardonnays . One is traditional barrel fermented and the other isNew Wave "Egg". In my quest for the perfect dry Chardonnay, this one is a contender .

A great discovery in the continuing quest for highly flavored but lighter bodied reds. Firm flavors, graphite, earth, cool blue fruits, structured coming more from the acidity then from tannins, and no sweetness in the fruit or on the palate at all. — 9 years ago

Zlatan

Crljenak Crljenak Kaštelanski

RIP to the late Zlatan who passed a month ago.

Zlatan Otok is one of my favourite wineries in Croatia. I appreciate every single one of the wines that I've tried but that said, this Zlatan Otok 2010 Crljenak is my absolute fave.

In 2001 a research, funded by Mike Grgich of Judgement of Paris fame, on the origin of Zinfandel came to fruition. It confirmed that Zinfandel and Primitivo came from Croatia. Unfortunately at the point of discovery, the vines of Crljenak in Croatia was near extinction. Today, only a handful of Croatian wineries still produce this wine. As far as I've tried, the Zlatan Otok 2010 Crljenak is the best representation of this variety.

Notes: Colour is dark garnet with some clarity. On the nose, I get cboth red and black fruit, white and black pepper, slightly perfumey like amber and musk. The palate reflects exactly what's on the nose, carried off by vibrant acidity and prominent minerality. Tannins are slightly coarse but sweet, which means it should be aged in the bottle for a while longer but ready to be enjoyed now. What I love most is how it opens up and expresses itself on the palate like a triangle--from narrow and shy to wide and lively. This Crljenak has lighter body than most Californian Zinfandel.

The final conclusion: Yes please! It's slightly cheaper than Lytton Springs, and I'm getting more pleasure from this.
