Excellent value/ price ratio as always from Sunrise. The wine got even cheaper over the years. Three years ago it used to cost CZK 199. very good fruity Shiraz with nice hint of smoke and toast from barrels. In Prague Wine Trophy Sunrise very often beats much more expensive wines. From my experience it requires 4 to 5 years in cellar to get to the peak conditions, which is confirmed by this Shiraz.
