2009 moja M, Srednja i Juzna Dalmacija, Croatia

Clear amber. Rather firm, somewhat nutty and light-tobacco, also a trace of animal scent of partly preserved and dried yellow fruits with yeasty hints, floral nuances, turmeric, some curry and vegetable notes. Nutty-woody spicy and very tobacco-like in the mouth, ripe, partly dried yellow fruit, very slightly cheesy notes, umami, wilted floral notes and tobacco, persistent and melted on the palate, restrained acidity and mellow tannins, warming alcohol, a hint of coffee, earthy tones in the background, a little oxidative style, good to very good finish.
