Radikon, Slatnik Bianco, Venezia Giulia IGT

Not my type of wine. Very bitter end. Nothing to compare with so it's hard to say if the wine should taste like it does or if it is slightly defective. Anyway, not a good experience.

Great stuff! Very complex and interesting nose with a whiff of barnyard but also nice fruits. Intense and complex on the palate with high acidity and some tannins as well.

Crystalline translucent orange juice with an enticing sherry like bouquet. The complex palate was marked by a bracing acidity and a hint of apples on the mid palate. The wine finished with terrific length and focus. In short, I loved the wine.

Fresh, razor sharp expression of skin macerated Chardonnay, shows off bone dry apple cider and just a hint of fino sherry on the nose, acidity that would cut through a hundred year old cheese on the palate dominates and then there's the soul of the wine in my view on the finish which is savoury and refreshing. Very good as aperitif with some salted almonds. For my money though, the Oslavje I preferred and found more meditative.

Nose like a sweet wine, palate like a light red. This is a great example of the orange wine style! Apricots, dried figs, raisins, funky barnyard and plenty of nuts and bruised apples. Very dry with noticeable tannins. Great intensity and complexity. This is serious stuff!

For me, the tannins is a bit of a double-edged sword bere - they make the wine unique and really interesting, at the same time it's a bit limiting in the sense that they make me somewhat ignore/forget other interesting flavours (like dried apricots and almonds). I choose not to rate it, don't get me wrong though, I like this wine and recommend you try it.
