Malvazija JRE 2020 shows deep colour of old gold and some viscosity. It is quite dense and oily, nicely pronounced and rich in development on the nose, with tertiary aromas of bread, dough, honey, dried fruit, caramel, gingerbread and oak. There are some citrus fruit nuances giving it a lift and vertical direction. If served too cold, some time is needed to reveal all its wealth.

Dry on the palate, full bodied, with moderate acidities and pleasant oily texture. Aroma of flowers such as camomile appears on the palate giving it an extra dimension. At the first sip, bit shy on the mid palate, but next sip reveals the flavour intensity, persistence and elegance with a refined touch of warmth. Bit bigger than vintage 2019, fulfilling the same task as the previous edition – being food friendly. At the end developing a long, lasting finish.

This is a perfect gastronomic wine being able to pair with numerous dishes. With its restrained character it will go nicely with most of the dishes made of fish or white meat, especially when grilled, making a perfect match (grilled fish, grilled scallops, grilled shrimps, roasted chicken). Also a fine a pair to pasta with truffles.

Fully mature. Best to drink from 2024 to 2030.
