This was my testing Zweigelt bottle. The wine received gold medal in Prague Wine Trophy with 88 points so I decided to check. Luckily I did not buy a whole case , but just single bottle. It is nowhere Zweigelt for 88 points, do not get me wrong I finished the whole bottle very quickly, it is nicely drinkable due to low alcohol and good fruit, but there are better Zweigelts on the market and definitely this one is not 88 points:-)
