TASTING NOTES: The 2020 Croatina is packed with blue purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and mocha. There's plenty of textural opulence, but the tannins are also balanced, certainly more so than in the 2022s from Carlone. There's not much subtlety here that much is obvious but the 2020 certainly has a ton to offer. It's a great example of the house style.
