This is really my favorite Cabernet Merlot blend for around CZK 150, so smooth, fruit is balanced with terciary tones from aging in a bottle with hint of vanilla. I tasted this wine with my friend 5 years ago and it was amazing, the oak was more visible as well as tannins, but i guessed it should have had good potential for aging so i boutht two cases of 6 and i did good thing:)
I'm guessing that this may still be available at the Vietnamese fruit & veg shop on Rumanska street. Great value.
