8th bottle of this wine tasted. this is really save bet for very nice Pinot for excellent price with proper bottle maturity. for previous tastings (one with pics) please refer here. Looking at the previous notes the wine misses the oak, which would kick it to another level. I discussed it with sommelier from Znovin and his answer was that Czechs are to conservative and prefer unoaked wine, I have nothing to add to this.
