Pure and proper Pinot. I used to have 06 vintage, which I quite liked , but this is even better, fresher, purer, less heavy. It is the evidence that the NW winemakers are improving year over year if it does not related to very cheap segment, but reasonable range. On top of that the wine used to cost CZK 300 5 years ago and now is even cheaper. Will buy a case to my cellar.
