Good value for the money considering it was bought on special 1.5 years ago. When bought and tasted for the first time on March 2013 it was rather basic fruit driven wine although with tannis, still at that time the wine was rather harsh. 1.5 years later the wine aged and rounded up nicely, nothing big but solid CS, and for CZK 100, what do u want??. It still has 2 years to go.
