  Komplex und vielschichtig, wuerzige Noten von Tabak und Leder, etwas Lakritze und Eukalyptus, etwas reife dunkle Beerenaromen, Waldboden, dicht und voll. Der Geschmack praesentiert sich mit ueberzeugender Struktur, Finesse und Charakter, Weichheit und Samtigkeit verbunden mit Konzentration und Extrakt, gut eingebundenes Saeuregeruest, griffige Gerbstoffe, wirkt frisch und einladend trinkig, lang anhaltend. Wohl eine der authentischsten und gelungensten Interpretationen der autochthonen Suedtiroler Rebsorte Lagrein. Etwas atmen lassen und waermer im Glas, dann sehr samtig und weich.

  Had over two nights, very nice both nights and after some time open its nose develops more fully, showing herbs (sage, thyme?), dry forest, slight resin and cedar, and maybe raspberry. Medium-bodied, "smooth" with fine but still a bit drying tannins but a nice finish.

  Year after year the Benedictine monks of the Muri-Gries Monastery (city of Bozen / originally from the Swiss town of Muri / Aargau canton) produce one of the best Lagrein wines of the Südtirol region. The “Abtei Riserva” was matured for 22 months in barriques. Decanted: two hours prior to tasting. Deep dark garnet red in color and a complex nose of elderberry, plum, tobacco, new leather and a hint of pencil lead. The palate shows a robust but also a surprisingly polished and elegant wine, full of lush cherry fruit, with a great structure and perfectly integrated tannins. Convincing aftertaste. Already highly enjoyable now, but will surely improve with a few more years in the bottle.
  
  De “Lagrein Abtei Riserva” van de Benedictijnermonikken van het klooster Muri-Gries (stad Bozen / oorspronkelijk afkomstig uit de Zwitserse stad Muri / kanton Aargau) behoort jaar na jaar tot de beste Lagrein-wijnen van Zuid-Tirol. Deze wijn rijpte gedurende 22 maanden op barriques. Gedecanteerd: twee uur vóór consumptie. Diep, donker granaatrood van kleur en een complexe neus van vlierbessen, pruimen, tabak, nieuw leder en ook een vleugje grafiet. In de mond: een robuuste maar ook een verrassend gepolijste en elegante wijn, vol weelderig kersenfruit, met een voortreffelijke structuur en perfect geïntegreerde tannines. Overtuigende afdronk. Nu al bijzonder goed genietbaar, maar de wijn zal zich zeker nog verder ontwikkelen.

  Dark purple color. Definitely another step up from the "regular" Lagrein of this producer. Beautiful nose of blackberries, some raspberries, licorice, cherries and some ceder wood. It has a medium-full body, medium+ but silky tannin and a medium+ acidity. Very long finish. This is an impressive Lagrein with pretty complex aromatic profile and a beautiful structure adding grip.
