This was the first sample we tasted in our Bordeaux tasting with price range from CZK 250 to CZK 500. The wine had lovely bouquet of ripe berry fruit with nice smokiness of barrique. The high expectations were not confirmed in the taste where the wine was visible with higher tannins and acidity I would expect.
