I wated to try this wine, which has higher amount of resveratrol and was specifically interersted in 2010 vintage, which was very difficult in Moravia due to cold season and higher amount of rains. This should be reflected even in higher than alrteady high amount of resveratrol from this vineyard. The wine is very light bodied and spicy, I do like it as it is sonmething different than boring new world wines with the similar style over and over.
