This wine is the "residual" gift our neighbor got from our friend when leaving the Czech Republic. It was quite controversial because we have tasted it as a third bottle. Some people liked it, whilst my girlfriend was not really fond of it. It is cheaper version of Ripasso, but it is a standard quality wine with fruit and chocolate in it. Although it is 2005 vintage, given its tannins it has nice potential to develop and smooth out in 2 - 4 years easily.
