Aromas of plum, pungent new oak, wild plum, and an almost an ethereal, petrol-like scent. A soft and slightly viscous onset on the palate followed by taut tannins and zesty acidity. A very well-built example, suitable for a decade of bottle ageing.
More about the tastingScents of black-fruit and blackberries, structured; far from drinking jam despite 14 % alcohol by volume. The grape varieties also depict a Burgenland appeal (38% Blaufränkisch, 28% Zweigelt). It has a demanding core with velvety tannins. The best advertisement for this style.
