Ottocento Bijeli 2011, Clai

Date Tasted: 8/2020

It is an interesting well-aged wine, my first Croatian one, with a nutty and honey character that has passed its best but without being tired. I was surprised when I saw the alcohol level since it was undetectable, although I am quite sensitive. 

Appearance: The colour is medium amber.

Nose: It is fully developed with aromas such as marzipan, biscuit, kerosene, caramel and honey to be some of them. 

Palate: It is dry with medium to high acidity, medium body and medium hazelnut aftertaste. 

Drink: Not suitable for further ageing. 

Food Pairing: It paired fair well with Comté cheese.
