Chateau Valtice Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 pozdní sběr

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country of origin: Czech Republic  
Wine appellation: Moravia, Mikulv sub-appellation, Novosedly village, Kamenný vrh vineyard
Vintage: 2005
Alcohol content: 12.0%
Color:  medium red
Bouquet: not very expressive, hint of cherries and black currant
Taste: light to medium body, red cherries preserve, hint of cassis and light smokiness,  tannins are very light, medium finish
Recommended food pairing: sausages
Overall score: 3+6+9+5+5+50=78
Price: CZK 175 regular (CZK 89 action)
Stopper: cork
Considering the action price reasonable drop, but if bought for full price this would be joke. Cassillero del diablo sells nowadays for CZK 199 and it is far better CS than this. It was good to try:-) So far I did not have CS from Moravia that I would be amazed of, this variety simply does not belong there. Basic Tarapaca in action sells for CZK 99 and it is still better wine than this.
