Nice aromatics with cherry and red currant. With some autumn leaves and Forrest floor adding complexity. Gripping on the palate but the tannins habe a juicy quality and the purity of fruit is very nice. A delight right now but this one can hold for years to come. — 7 years ago

An elusive Austrian wine. Body, deep color, and a Sarah profile. — 7 years ago

Interesting to observe how the style of this flagship cuvée has shifted over the years, dialing back the oak, picking earlier, focusing on purity and sense of place.
Dark & slightly brooding on the nose with plum & hint of black cure leaf, freshly turned earth. A tiny pinch of spices, the wood not evident at all. Fresh & pure.
On the palate this is so juicy, medium tannin with just a tiny bite, filled with fresh damson plums and a hint of black currant. Juicy acidity, and nice length with an earthy finish. 14% alc, as in prev vintages, but this time unnoticeable. Nice depth and purity here.
This is a lovely wine, with juicy fruit and a savoury edge. Brilliant food companion.
Delish!
