Janko Zlatno runo 2017

Character & enjoyment

In the Glass

Deep ruby-garnet, dense and concentrated with a slightly violet rim – a wine with substance and aging potential.

On the Nose

Dominant red and black fruits: cherry, black cherry, and blackcurrant form the core. Herbal and spice notes complement the profile; toasted almonds, nutmeg, a hint of vanilla, and dark chocolate add depth to the bouquet.

On the Palate

Powerful and full-bodied with pronounced fruitiness and rich, ripe tannins. Secondary notes from the barrique – cinnamon, vanilla, leather, fine chocolate – round out the primary fruit spectrum. The finish is long, complex, and persistent. Great aging potential.

Food Pairing

Beef fillet with a pepper crust, wild boar shanks from the oven, aged Comté or Cheddar, dark bitter chocolate.
