Country: Czech Republic

Winery Review: Fruity aroma with an expression of small forest fruits and black berries harmoniously tuned plum stone, original velvety and balanced tannins.


My Review:
This was my first crack at a Czech wine. It was big and bold. The nose had big aromas and it was pungent. It smelled fruity with hints of red fruit specifically raspberries and licorice. The taste was of raspberries, blackberries, and black fruit in general. It was a hot wine and was kind of watery on the palate. It had a long finish and a tannic aftertaste. The fruity quality isn’t sustained due to the heat the wine packs. I did enjoy this wine and was a good introduction to Czech wines.
