Typical New World style, huge fruit, nicely balanced by black of chocolate and slight coffee due to bottle age. I used to be fan of these wines, but now I grew older and more mature (I hope:-)). I guess Lenka will finish it tomorrow o her own as this is really her style:-). The wine is at almost at the peak, otherwise the scoring would be lower and I wonder how I scored it back in 2009 upon its tasting in Prague Grobovka.
