color dark garnet
aroma: tannin/oak, tart apple, earth
taste: It had the taste of leather and not much else. I thought it needed to breathe, but it never really developed much in the way of fruit. Instead it became more smoky.

Wine 34: Prokupac
The second of my Serbian wines and the last new wine I found at the annual mega-tasting. I still have two more wines to post before I am caught up. Nobody actually reads this so I suppose it doesn't matter.

Wine 33: Vranac
A have a big backlog of reviews written done and waiting to be posted. I will hopefully clear all them out this week.
Vrsacki Pannonian Red, Vranac 2007
color: inky garnet
aroma: berry, vanilla, oak
taste: It started out very subtle but with a full body. It needed to breathe. The flavors were raisins, vanilla, a bit of strawberry, more initial tartness on the second night.
rating: good
