Medium body with generous fruit aromas of strawberry, red cherry, red plum. Silky smooth with low tannins, white pepper, and a whiff of Brett.

Still very nice (2012) but typical of European Wines with the earthiness.

Quite good, especially with food (tomatoes and high acidity). Had that Austrian velvet/fuzziness in the taste.
