I discovered this bottle when organizing my cellar. I quite like wines from Modry sklep. They are usually very good even in their base row, which is this one. The label looks pretty horrible, but the wines are very nice and drinkable. About 4 years ago we used to love Veltlinske Zelene 2002, which was amazing value wine for the price of CZK 70 (EUR 2.7) and I had a case of that wine and my friend as well:). This bottle of Rulandske sede, however, was my last one :(.
