You probably did, Barry. It's excellent, and has very distinctive flavour all of its own (due mainly to the unique grape variety used). Indeed, so much so that I instantly identified it in a blind tasting that I took part in a few years ago:)

Sort of a cross between a good Médoc and a really earthy, robust Barolo.

Sitting in a beer garden high up in Prague overlooking the city. Drinking draft pilsner urquel. The sun's shining too. It doesn't get better than this
