Double blind. On the nose not a lot going on. Some cherries, pronounced vanilla and some herbal or green notes. A bit muted. On the palate same aromas, high acidity. Mouthfeel very round, missing a bit of structure.
Pretty underwhelmed after the reveal… Too round, missing character and intensity here.
## Update for Day 2: ##
The wine has clearly improved after one day. I had hoped yesterday that the wine needed air and it seems to be the case. I recommend aggressive aeration if you plan to open a bottle of this in the near future.
The vanilla note, which I found irritating, is gone and the fruit appears less blatant and deeper. I also like the spiciness that the wine now has, which, together with the tart cherry, reveals a BF character.
Unfortunately, I still don't think the wine is really great, but perhaps my expectations were just too high.

Schiefer Reihburg-Vertikale 2024 mit Uwe Schiefer, Weinkosterei Burg Schlaining 23.2.2024, Austria (Weinkosterei, Schlaining Castle, Burgenland, Austria): Dark, purple/red color, no signs of ageing. The nose shows some barnyard, that stays there even with a lot of air. Some violetts and red fruits on the nose and on the mid-weight-palate. Nothing to complain here but lacking a bit of complexity compaired to other Reihburg's in this verticale! Will certainly improve with age! 91-92 pts. at the moment
