Cotar, Vitovska, Kras

Faded. Waited too long on this one.

Pretty interesting orange wine, but like many of them I don't really want it in much volume.

Orange wine. Color gets darker towards the bottom of the bottle. Looked like cloudy amber beer at last. If I drunk this blind, I might have mistaken this as pale colored etna rosso. Great mineralty, saliness, and bright red fruits (chinese hawtone?) with some orange peel twist. Apricot too. Pleasant tannin. Like etna, from time to time it gives an illusion of matured red burgundy. Perfect match with ginger flavored pork dish.

"Orange wine", although it's rather beige than orange or rose. Cloudy. Nice tannins if you chew it a little.

Fresh, light bodied fruit. Cloudberry, orange, white fruit, citrus and vanilla. Fine tannins and acidity, really cleans your mouth. Short aftertaste. No complexity here, very much a fruit-driven wine. Refreshing and dangerously drinkable.

A fun showing. As the wine maker next to me is saying "there is a llot of little bugs in this wine, but they are all working in symphony".

Smells like a wonderful bowl of miso soup. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. Tastes like apples and honey roasted tofu. Finish is fairly lengthy. Works with Japanese food?

Orney and hard core. Hard core twice in one day. Dry, mineral and powerful. This is the bomb.

too BioD for me

Friday night at Fabio's with the NY/NJ Crew (Fabio's NYC) : Copper tinged gold color in the glass and slightly cloudy. Interesting nose of almonds and dried apricot with some underlying sweet stone fruit. A bit funky on the palate marked by herbaceousness and minerality. High acid, slightly tannic, medium finish. Very interesting. It had opened up showing a bit more of the frt when revisited later in the evening.

yellow wine with prolonged skin contact. A little odd at the outset, this wine is much better with air and warming. Cider, flowers, meadow grass, honey and on and on. Interesting wine for the geeks.

Proper apricoty/peachy aromas. Palate is soft, apricoty, weighty, balanced, streak of minerality and spice. Long finish with minerals and spices. Can be easily mistaken for an Italian wine. Tasted at Mare & Vitovska event.
