Klabjan - Malvazija Black Label 2019
Jumps out of a glass with rich notes of orange jam, apple compote and honeysuckle paired with marzipan and walnut. On the palate it shows round and creamy texture with smooth tannins and a lifting dash of pleasant acidity. To be served in larger glasses to let it express it self to the fullest.
