It is amazing to find wine like this in cellar, it is in perfect conditions with visible minerality and good acidity and holds perfectly together. Generally the wines from Mikulov area and especially Welsh Riesling from Zelezna has stunning archiving potential. This wine does not have the "adjective" , i.e. predikat, but offers something you hardly get from new world wines, when majority of the whites are gone after 5 years of aging. For labels please refer to January 2010 tasting here, where you can trace the development of the notes as well.
