Janko Misija Bariq 2019 – a premium product from Vinarija Janko, Smederevsko Vinogorje.
Tasting Notes
Bright straw yellow with golden reflections, brilliant and warm. Complex bouquet: toasted bread, crème brûlée, apricot, and pineapple in harmonious dialogue with fine minerality. The 18 months of barrique aging lend depth without masking the fruit base. Full-bodied, creamy, and extractive – perfect balance between oak spice, acidity, and ripe fruit. Long, opulent finish.
