Aging of wine: Aging of wine: For 7 years in 60-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels. Bottle-aging: At least one year. Bottling date: September 1999.

Vintage Notes: An ideal season for the withering; rains, concentrated in spring period, preceded a fairly dry and hot summer. The grapes of this harvest were healthy and ripe with high sugary content.
