5th bottle of this wine tasted so far. However this bottle is slightly different to previous tastings of the same wine that you can find in the chronological view. Although the vintage is the same it has newer label, different color of capsule, different alcohol level and different production batch no. What is pleasant that the wine still has some acidity despite 10 years of age and despite higher alcohol it does not stand out of the wine.
