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

Incredible wine. On the coast of the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik — 11 years ago
Big and bold at 15% ABV. Black cherry, dark chocolate, and very tannic. Had an amazing dinner al fresco with fire roasted red porgi and tomato-pineapple salsa, ratatouille, and rice. Fish caught today in the Adriatic, and all vegetables from the garden. Life is good! ✨✨✨ — 5 years ago
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

Medium bodied, very dry on opening then softened out. Bright fruit -cherries, plum some spice. Campomarino region on Adriatic coast. Montelpuciano and aglianico blend. Yum. Great with food. This was a 2012. — 7 years ago
Pleasantly different wine for me. Rose petal nose, dark sweet plum and black cherry flavor. Age smoothed the tannins a lot, but the acid and profile is good.
Paired for dinner of Greek blood orange and tomato chicken. Like I'm in the Adriatic now! — 7 years ago

Well aged body with secondary notes of dried peach and slight nuttiness with still a hint of slate and minerality after all these years. I feel like I’m on the beach on the coast of the Northern Adriatic Sea once again enjoying the local bounty. — 5 years ago
