Domaine Bibich CRNO, 2019

Sweet roasted chestnuts, ripe plum, ripe raspberries, cask, blackberries,  anise. The palate is smooth with a burst of concentrated blackberries on a structure of tobacco and caramel. Primarily Syrah, with a bit of Plavic (Croatia's second most planted grape) and Merlot; Indigenous yeast fermentation  in Stainless Steel. Alen Bibić and his family captured the heart of Anthony Bourdain and is one of the most sought after winemakers in Croatia. He describes this land where his family has been making wine for 5 centuries as true Mediterranean, with lots of sun cooled by evening breezes keeping both dense fruit and acidity levels for freshness.
