This wine id very expressive in the nose with white summer flowers supported by dead nettles flowers, quite typical Moravian floral PB with heavier structure in the mouth, it is quite dense and it feels like you need to "bite through" the wine. This would develop very nicely in the cellar where the initial flowery bouquet will be replaced with structured dry fruits and honey type of character flavors.
