This is the second bottle of this wine tasted, unfortunately I did not make any notes one year ago so this time I have to rectify it. This is interesting variety (see the link) and feels very fruity, aromatic and sweet, although dry. it competed against Dornfelder tasted while ago and although the bottle was emptied the first (Lenka scored it 86) I preferred the Dornfelder due to better mouth profile, higher acidity and slightly longer finish.
