Zweitgeltrebe 2006, Znovin Znojmo, Czech Republic


As the very nice flight attendant found out about my online wine collection he immediately offered to serve another bottle. This time expectations were higher and the result: same level, tannin kicked in a bit more, less fruity and as expectations were driven higher actual grade fell to 3/5. Made by Znovin Znojmo. I was offered another glass of Frankovka CSA edition and I had to turn down as I had to drive to the airport.

Modry Portugal 2007, Habanske sklepy, Czech Republic
