Soft tannins, deep black berries, delicious well rounded cab — 5 years ago
It remains a thrill to taste these wines from Krankl. Very sirah dominant with Some viognier to soften the wine. Fruit fwd, spicey, peppery. Wood fully integrated, lovely to drink now but can age another ten years easy. — 5 years ago
+1 hour decant(decent fine/cloudy sediment). A striking dark magenta color. On the nose: sweet black fruit, earthy mushroom, leather, bacon, floral. Taste: deep, dark, rich, and silky as you would expect from a Manfred Krankl wine with blackberry, dark chocolate, bacon fat, earth, and a long peppery coffee ground finish. YUM! — 3 months ago
Big peppermint/candy cane aroma and taste with some underlying herb. Really unique. I wouldn’t buy again though. — 4 years ago
This was stunning today; Elixir-esq concentration sporting deep bass notes, a plethora of vital high tones, some carbon, a little graphite and impeccable purity. It would have likely tasted delicious anywhere but to share it with the Krankl family and perfect gentleman turned SQN chevalier @Roman Sukley was an honour and a privilege. It was part of a diamond day and the summit of a 17 year pilgrimage that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Thank you kindly Roman, Manfred, Elaine & August - 2014 — 5 years ago
