2nd bottle of this wine tasted. First tasted in October 2011. I knew I bought a case, but I could not find it in the cellar, until last month organizing the remote cellar I discovered the remaining 5 bottles from the case. I very much like the wine I was looking to drink some day as I knew it was buried in my cellar. It was prepared as one of the best wines from Jedlicka a Novak, but declassified by the commissioner due to alcohol level. The alcohol, despite shocking level on the label, does not stand out at all in the nose and only very little in the finish.
