Vinselekt Michlovský Rulandské modré 2009 pozdní sběr Barrique

Variety: Pinot Noir
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Wine appellation: Moravia, Velkopavlovická sub-appellation, Rakvice village, Trnkmansko vineyard
Vintage: 2009
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: light red with garnet meniscus
Bouquet: expressive, ripe sour cherries, chocolate, vanilla, it does not feel moravian at all
Taste: medium body, primary charismatics are of the black sour cherries with nice acidity, accompanied by black cherries in the pie with hint of chocolate and vanilla, medium to longer smooth and nice finish
Overall score: 4+7.5+11+6+7+50= 85.5
Price: CZK 189
Stopper: single piece cork
Out of the 4 Moravian Pinot tasted this one and Chateau Valtice 07 are clearly the best although quite different. I would say this Pinot has better potential to improve, whereas Valtice is at the peak. It looks to me quite different to 07 vintage (not as good as 09 vintage for reds) tasted in December 2013.
