Highly Recommended by the Wine Enthusiast. Upfront, the nose is grainy, dry and delicate. Palate entry is peppery and sweeter than I thought it would be, but not cloying; midpalate displays vibrant, spicy fragrances of snack crackers laced with pepper, black peppercorn, lemon zest and mustard seed; the texture is creamy and full. Concludes on a silky, citrusy note. Substantial and well-made.,The inspiration for the Double Cross name came from the double cross symbol found in the Slovak flag and coat of arms and that the rectangular bottle is decorated with script which is lines of Slovak poetry.,95 Wine Enthusiast
