Lovely dark fruit, spice, and coniferous forest floor on the nose. Tannins overwhelm the back palate. Nice medium alcohol and acid. Medium garnet color. Excellent value in a very lovely and unusual wine. — 6 years ago
Love the mouthfeel, almost oily balances with striking acidity and a nice core of fruit, all in balance, almost restrained. — 7 years ago

Expressive nose with black peppercorns, cloves, crushed rock, a hint of iron & blood, underneath all that - pure black fruit. Fresh, spicy, enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate with ripe, grippy tannins, juicy black fruit acidity and nice purity to the fruit. This has grip, good tension, quite some power and loads of character. Reminiscent of Northern Rhône.
Nice length, too! A brilliant Austrian red! — 3 years ago
