I was interested in 2013 vintage, which, although not as difficult as 10, carries similarly higher acidity, which I like. Also wines with higher acidity age very nicely as was proven in 04 and now 10 vintage. I do not now, whether the wine is made from the same vineyards like 11 vintage from Slovacko tasted in September 2013, but this is very different type of animal comparing to hot 11 vintage. It still has some edges but good candidate for cellaring.
