It is slightly kiselosti.Početni meal was slow-cooked London broil with potatoes and chickpeas. Wines remained sweetness. It is round and quite powerful, but you like the sweetness. The potatoes add an element of sour wine and chickpeas while adding an element of tobacco. The last meal of tomatoes, onions, peppers, salsa and lime off the wine and its sweetness has become embarrassing.

next installment focuses on grilled chicken thighs, both honey and garlic, tomato based. With the first thighs The cabin is like candy, and there is some acid and plum flavor. With wine tomatoey thighs is even sweeter than before, but did not give some flavor duhana.Prilog potatoes roasted in chicken fat added to the acidity of the wine but it's still like candy.
