A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This is (presumably) a very terroir-driven wine. So folks who worship at the altar of terroir should love this. This is the 2'nd Macedonian red I've tried. The other was the Tikves Vranac which spoke only of PhilippeCambie and neither of Vranac varietal character nor of Tikves terroir. So now 0 for two on Macedonian reds. Pray for me when I see another Macedonian red.
