They say to him that their grandfather "drank five liters of it a day." I take delivery of this today. I don't need five liters. At least not yet. http://www.bluedanub.../winery/bibich/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe H Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Took delivery and opened it. I would compare this to Slovenian and Moldovan wine that I have had in that these wines are a knockout value for the price. Within their borders. I am also guessing that if I was in Croatia this would have been similar. But I'm not. And, at $39.95 it seemed obscenely expensive. I should note a bias, I prefer a more alcoholic wine-both the Merlot and the Shiraz were 13% alcohol. Today I also bought a bottle of '09 Termes for $23 at Costco which we also opened. Blew away the Croatian. Yet it was 15% alcohol and was much thicker, more depth, more mouth coating with a longer, jammier flavor lingering in my mouth. If I had spent $15 or 18 for the Croatian (as it must cost in Dubrovnik or Split) I would feel differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
