Another example of wine from Baloun, which is typically decorated with all medals and the wine actually is not that great and majority of them are overpriced anyway. Will not buy another Baloun wine unless tasted. Blind purchases not recommended. Although being stored in wine fridge at 8°C the wine is behind its zenith, which could be due to bad technology or use of plastic cork.
