Still tastes very, very young showing bright red fruit, lots of crisp raspberries, high acidity, overall a very dry style, mineral and pure, medium bodied, some vegetal notes of licorice. While the tannins are soft this bottle still has some tangy acidity that prevents the wine from being elegant. A wine/bottle that currently needs food to shine. It turned out to be an excellent partner to a funghi porcini risotto. Overall a puristic bottle of Blaufränkisch, but cannot compete with the excellent 2006. Will hold another 5 years easily and might become more elegant and complex with age. - 89+ points

Tasted blind after 1.5 hours in decanter. Some guessed a dolcetto, which come to think about it...maybe, But not for this price! Overall an elegant wine, with distinctive aromas and soil inflicted mouthfeel. Burgundian style. Would like to see how it develops in a few years, maybe warrant acclaim and price

Notes from day 2. Dark red to purple in color. Nose of blackberry, peat, iodine, spice. Palate of blackberry, peat, pine, iodine, black tea, spice. The finish was above average in length with a nice mouthfeel. Overall the wine was nice with really reall good acidity, just missing a little acidity at this point. Drink or hold: 50+5+12+17+7 4

Schiefer Reihburg-Vertikale 2024 mit Uwe Schiefer, Weinkosterei Burg Schlaining 23.2.2024, Austria (Weinkosterei, Schlaining Castle, Burgenland, Austria): From Magnum:
Deep red color color, young impression. Fresh aromas of red berries on the nose. Medium body. Palate: Red berries and a lot of acidity that keeps the wine fresh. Typical minerality / saltiness, easy to drink - the end is long! Very young for the age, especially from Magnum. Underestimated vintage, long life ahead...92++
