November 25, 2023 - Sehr dunkles Rubinrot, fast schwarz im Kern, sehr schmale Randaufhellung. Nase sehr dunkelbeerig, sehr extrahiert, leichte Hitze/Gummi - sehr 2012!
Am Gaumen noch nicht ganz offen. Geizt etwas mit Reizen, ja, dunkelbeerig nach Heidelbeeren, Brombeeren, auch etwas Banane. Aber der Wein wirkt noch etwas verschlossen, die nächste Flasche in ein/zwei Jahren…
Sehr guter Steinzeiler aber nicht ansatzweise in der Liga des 11ers… -

November 17, 2023 - 2012 Kollwentz Steinzeiler. We had this wine with a 6-course dinner last Friday. Kollwentz's Steinzeiler never really disappoints. Bright red, smells of cherries and red berries with a slight note of cassis. On the palate, fine texture, slightly mineral, very harmoniously structured with a round finish. It's a lot of fun to drink. (92/100 - 17/20)

April 30, 2023 - Tasted at a visit to Stanglwirt in Kitzbühl, Austria. Mostly red cherry fruit, mineral notes of pencil shavings and smoke, fresh herbal complexity, floral notes and an earthy base. Fine texture with the cab seemingly adding some tannic structure. But there was also notable heat and quite searing acidity.

December 4, 2021 - OK, I have to say I was *very* sceptical about Austrian red wines before I tried this. Sure, the dry whites and the dessert wines from Neusiedlersee are lovely, but the reds? In the past I’ve found them very unenjoyable.
This wine, however, whoa! What a gorgeous red, I am very impressed. At 9 years of age it’s drinking just beautifully. Well balanced, medium bodied. Some well integrated tannins there so could surely be enjoyable for quite a few years but damn enjoyable right now in my opinion. I am happy to have experienced an excellent Austrian red!3 people found this helpful Comment
