I am not huge fan of Frankovka generally but this is one of the better Frankovkas I ever tasted. I would say the lovers of Frankovka would score it much higher. I bought the case 6 years ago at tasting in Grebovka and what is amazing that the wine now looks like it starting to be drinkable with very good acidity, light tannins and nice longer finish despite having 8 years of age it keeps slight ruby hue.
