Vintage: 2003
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: medium ruby red with light violet hue (amazing considering the vintage)

Overall score: 85
Price: ?? bought ages ago
Stopper: cork
This is replacement bottle as the first one had a cork taint. This one is fine and for me this is big surprise due to still ruby red color and mostly considering extremely hot 2003 vintage with very good acidity. The wine is predominantly fruity, but nicely round and balanced with smooth tannins.
P.S. The cuvee was made for President of the Czech republic Vaclav Klaus, hence the name Lany, which is the summer residence for presidents in the CR.
